ITAT adjudicated a tax reassessment case involving procedural irregularities in notice service. The tribunal found that the Revenue department failed to substantiate proper service of Section 148 notice to the assessee. The Assessing Officer explicitly acknowledged that the issued notice was returned unserved. Consequently, the tribunal determined that no valid notice was effectively served to the taxpayer. Based on this critical procedural defect, the reassessment proceedings under Section 144 read with Section 148 were summarily quashed, rendering the entire reassessment process invalid. The final ruling was decisively in favor of the assessee, invalidating the tax department's attempt to reopen the assessment.
