The ITAT held that a scrutiny notice issued under section 143(2) by an ITO without jurisdiction over the assessee was invalid, as jurisdiction to complete the assessment lay with the AC/DC and no transfer order under section 127 was produced. It further held that the assessee's participation could not cure this defect: section 292BB applies only where a valid notice exists and the objection concerns service, while section 292B does not validate a notice issued without jurisdiction. Treating the defect as going to the root of the matter, the Tribunal quashed the consequential assessment and left the merits unadjudicated.
