Reopening of assessment u/s 147 - When the assessment is sought to be reopened after the expiry of period of four years from the end of the relevant year, the proviso to Section 147 stipulates a requirement that there must be a failure on the part of the assessee to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary for his assessment for that year. This stipulation does not govern a notice for reopening within a period of four years. In the case at hand, as noted earlier, there is not even a whisper about what fact was not disclosed. In our view, therefore, the notice to reopen under Section 148 of the said Act itself was issued without jurisdiction. - HC
