Reassessment under Section 148 requires prima facie material showing a live link between the seized material and alleged income escaping assessment. The High Court held that vague, non-specific loose papers referring only to survey numbers, a rate and a third person's name, without the assessee's name or any nexus to her, could not justify reopening. The expressions "relates to" and "pertains to" in Explanation 2 to Section 148 cannot be applied in isolation; the Revenue must assess the material against surrounding circumstances and record prima facie relevancy. As the information lacked that connection, the notice and consequential reopening were quashed.
