ITAT held that a scrutiny notice under section 143(2) was invalid because it was not issued in the CBDT-prescribed format, and quashed the assessment as void ab initio. On merits, it held that capital gains on two Mumbai offices were not taxable in the later year because the assessee had already sold the property, handed over possession and received consideration earlier.
