Composite GST notices, mandatory limitation, and same-subject bar: HC upheld valid notices but quashed overlapping proceedings and unauthorised withho...
Reassessment based on the same interest income and TDS mismatch material already examined in final appellate proceedings was held to be an impermissible change of opinion. The sanction note disclosed no fresh tangible information, new ground, or subsequent material suggesting escapement of income, so reopening under Section 148 amounted to a collateral attack on a concluded determination. On that basis, the HC found the assumption of jurisdiction unsustainable and quashed the notice, sanction note, and consequential proceedings.
