First, regarding notice issuance post-1-04-2021, the tribunal held that prior approval from the competent authority under section 151 was mandatory. The AO's notice was deemed invalid as procedural requirements were not strictly followed. Second, concerning share transaction allegations, the tribunal ruled against revenue, determining that reassessment proceedings constituted a change of opinion since all material was previously examined during original assessment.
