The HC quashed the reassessment proceedings for AYs 2013-14 to 2017-18, holding that the findings from surveys conducted in 2007 and 2019 could not be blindly adopted to determine existence of a PE for those years.

The HC emphasized that no principle akin to res judicata applies in tax matters and that consistency must be balanced against the facts of each assessment year.
