The ITAT set aside the reopening of assessment under section 147 against a dissolved firm, holding that the notice under section 148 was not served on the partners immediately before dissolution as required by section 283(2). Consequently, the assessment framed on such notice was invalid. Regarding additions under section 68, the Tribunal found that the assessee firm's trades were duly executed through stock exchanges, recorded in audited books, and no unexplained cash credits were established. The alleged amounts were not credited but rather represented business losses resulting in debit entries, negating the applicability of section 68 additions. The AO failed to demonstrate any unexplained cash credit. Following precedent, the Tribunal disallowed the additions under section 68 for both relevant assessment years and allowed the assessee's appeal.
