HC quashed reassessment proceedings under s.147 initiated after four years. AO's reasons revealed information was derived from original assessment documents, indicating predecessor officer's incorrect assessment. Court found jurisdictional conditions under first proviso to s.147 unsatisfied. AO failed to adequately address petitioner's jurisdictional objections in rejection order, merely citing judgments without specific rebuttals.
