Benami property exclusion from the insolvency estate: Benami Act proceedings preclude IBC tribunals from reopening attachments or treating such assets...
Where reopening is founded on material seized in a third-party search, section 153C operates as the special procedure for assessment of that other person and overrides general reassessment under section 147; the reassessment was therefore void ab initio and the annulment was upheld.

The Tribunal accordingly dismissed the Revenue's challenge and sustained the finding that the additions were unsustainable.
