The HC held in favour of the appellant that reassessment proceedings under s.148 were void for want of valid service of notice. The court found the record lacked the registered-post envelope and that issuance by speed post without acknowledgment did not satisfy the statutory requirement of "post" for invoking the presumption of service under s.27 of the Evidence Act; accordingly the presumption could not be invoked.
