Reopening of assessment u/s 147 - in the original regular assessment proceedings for the subject assessment year 2014-15, the Assessing Officer had sought for and examined the petitioner’ share demat account which was provided by the petitioner to the Assessing Officer furnishing all particulars regarding the Wipro shares; this circumstance is also a pointer to the fact that the Assessing Officer had complete and full knowledge of the subject shares and their value at the time of original assessment proceedings and on this score also, it cannot be said that the income of the petitioner had escaped assessment due to failure on the part of the assessee to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary for assessment and consequently, the impugned order deserves to be quashed on this ground also. - HC
