Reassessment initiated under s.147 based on material emanating from a third-party search was held valid because the statutory preconditions for s.153C were not met, particularly the absence of any satisfaction note by the searched person's AO and its transmission to the assessee's AO; hence the assessee could not compel invocation of s.153C, and the AO's formation of belief was supported by fresh tangible material regarding alleged pre-arranged trades to claim s.10(38) exemption, so the jurisdictional challenge failed.
