ITAT dismissed the appeal, holding that transfer of the file under s.127 to another AO within the same city did not obligate re-issuance of notice or a fresh hearing and that the successor AO validly assumed jurisdiction to reopen and frame assessment under s.147 without re-issuing notice under s.143(2). The reopening and addition for undeclared capital gains on sale of immovable property were sustained on available information and consistent treatment of co-owners; the assessee's belated factual plea for indexed cost of acquisition was not admitted for lack of evidence and undue delay. Result: appeal dismissed and assessment upheld.
