A reassessment opened to tax long-term capital gains from a joint development agreement could also entertain a section 54F claim directly linked to that escaped income, because reassessment is not a review of concluded matters but relief bearing on the very income under examination. The Tribunal further held that a landowner's agreed share of residential units to be constructed and allotted by the developer can qualify as investment in construction of a residential house for section 54F purposes, following Karnataka High Court authorities. The exemption claim was therefore restored for fresh adjudication on the remaining statutory conditions.
