Reassessment notice - reason to believe – income escaping assessment – validity of notice ... ... ... ... ..... acts had been disclosed at the time of the original assessment, it would have become the duty of the Income-tax Officer to investigate the matter further and to hold whether the sale at the stated rate was genuine or not. Because of the non-disclosure of these facts, the Income-tax Officer did not doubt the trading account of the petitioner-firm and believing them to be true, made the assessment because he was of the opinion that the profit of Rs. 64,614 on the sale turnover of Rs. 2,05,927.50 was fairly high. There was no reason for him to suspect that the profits made by the firm had not been truly disclosed. For the reasons given above, I hold that the notice issued by the Income-tax Officer to the petitioner-firm on November 14, 1969, was valid and within the jurisdiction of the Income-tax Officer and he can continue reassessment proceedings pursuant thereto. There is thus no merit in this petition which is dismissed with costs. Counsel s fee Rs. 100. Petition dismissed.

Whether debts due to the assessee from Sri A. K. Hazra and Sri N. Sahay, on the basis of the usufructuary mortgage held by the assessee, constituted assets in its hands and comprise part of its wealth? - Tribunal was in error in excluding the two sums of money due from A. K. Hazra and N. Sahai altogether from the assessee's net wealth. These two dues must, however, be valued under section 7 of the Wealth-tax Act and in valuing these dues it must be considered whether the assessee could obtain decrees on his rent notes and sue for possession based on them. No facts were considered by the Tribunal in excluding these two dues from the net wealth of the assessee and the answer to this question cannot be given in any further detail
