The mandatory prior approval for reopening was found mechanical and lacked proper application of mind, being granted without adequate review of reasons to believe. Regarding sale consideration addition, CIT(A)'s finding that land transfer did not occur during relevant assessment year within meaning of s.2(47) was upheld, as AO failed to demonstrate actual transfer.

Revenue's appeal dismissed, nullifying reassessment and associated additions. en-us Mon, 03 Mar 2025 08:22:12 +0530 Mon, 03 Mar 2025 08:22:13 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=86169 ITAT invalidated reassessment proceedings due to procedural defects in approval under s.147/148.
