Reassessment notice for AY 2013-14 issued within six years under amended KVAT provisions was held to be within limitation, negating the plea that the proceedings were time-barred. The doctrine of merger was held inapplicable because the earlier appellate order merely reserved liberty to pursue statutory remedies and did not finally adjudicate merits; further, relegation to statutory authorities was found unnecessary where the merits were governed by binding precedent and the State had not appealed an adverse ruling on the same issue.
