2020 (6) TMI 436 - SCH - Income TaxReopening of assessment u/s 147 - validity of reasons to believe - HC set aside the notice for reopening - HELD THAT:- Reasons in support of the impugned notice is the very issue in respect of which the Assessing Officer has raised the query dated 25 September 2017 during the assessment proceedings and the Petitioner had responded to the same by its letters dated 10 December 2017 and 21 December 2017 justifying its stand. The non-rejection of the explanation in the Assessment Order would amount to the Assessing Officer accepting the view of the assessee, thus taking a view/forming an opinion. Therefore, in these circumstances, the reasons in support of the impugned notice proceed on a mere change of opinion and therefore would be completely without jurisdiction in the present facts. No reason to interfere in the matter. This special leave petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
