Where reopening rested solely on incriminating material seized in a search on another person, the special search assessment mechanism under section 153C prevailed over general reassessment under sections 147/148, and the reassessment was held bad in law. In the absence of the searched person's Assessing Officer's satisfaction note and any independent post-search material, jurisdiction under sections 147/148 could not be assumed on third-party search material alone.
