Reopening under s.148A(1) was challenged on the ground that the AO lacked "information which suggests that income chargeable to tax has escaped assessment" and instead undertook a roving inquiry based solely on consolidated debit and credit bank entries. The Court held that s.148A(1) permits only verification of such information available on the portal and does not authorize fishing inquiries, particularly when transactions were through banking channels and party-wise details were already available. As the notice and order were founded merely on consolidated bank entries without any further incriminating material, the AO exceeded jurisdiction; the writ petition was allowed. - HC
