Reopening of assessment - non-application of mind by AO - Borrowed satisfaction - Reliance on investigation initiated by Directorate General of Goods and Services Tax (“DG GST”) - The court observed that both the AO and the PCIT failed to properly assess the information and circumstances before approving the reopening notice.
