Validity of Reassessment proceedings - notice issued in the course of the reassessment proceedings not served on the assessee - The High Court examined the evidence presented, including copies of notices and postal tracking reports. It noted that all notices appeared to have been dispatched to the assessee but returned to the sender, the assessing officer. Despite this, the officer claimed the notices were served.

The Court also allowed the assessing authority to reevaluate the issue of the firm's existence independently.
