HC quashed and set aside the impugned order passed u/s 148A(d) and the consequential notice u/s 148, holding that initiation of reassessment proceedings was vitiated by breach of natural justice because the adverse Verification Report relied upon was not furnished to the petitioner prior to issuance of the notice u/s 148A(b). The court remanded the matter to the respondent authority to proceed afresh from the stage of issuance of notice u/s 148A(b), directing the respondent to supply the Verification Report to the petitioner within a reasonable time and permitting the petitioner to file a fresh reply. The prior actions of the department are set aside as invalid for non-supply of material relied upon.
