ITAT held that the notice under section 148 was unsigned and therefore void ab initio; consequentially the reassessment proceedings and the assessment framed thereon were quashed and unsustainable. The Tribunal found the AO failed to verify the assessee's evidences, did not identify specific defects, and neglected to issue statutory summons under section 133(6) to relevant purchasers; reliance on unexamined assertions rendered the additions unjustified.

The appeal of the assessee was allowed and the reassessment order set aside.
