Reassessment is invalid where the Assessing Officer furnishes reopening reasons but fails to dispose of the assessee's objections by a speaking order before completing reassessment. Applying the procedure in GKN Driveshafts and the jurisdictional High Court ruling in Hewlett Packard Financial Services, the Tribunal held that such disposal is mandatory.
