Validity of reopening of assessment - In the impugned order, the Assessing Officer (AO) seems to have completely gone off the rails i.e., in a completely different direction, by adverting to the fact that petitioner/assessee entered into two sale transactions concerning penny stock scrips of Prikh Herbals Ltd./Safal Herbs Ltd. - Clearly, there is a dissonance between the show cause notice issued under Section 148A(b) and the impugned order passed under Section 148A(d) of the Act.
