DR from the judgment of the Allahabad High Court does not relate to the provision of section 147 of the Act. Therefore, the same is distinguishable on facts. 9. Considering the above, we are of the opinion that the legal issue raised by the assessee relating to the validity of the reassessment is decided in favour of the assessee. Therefore, the adjudication of the other issues raised by the assessee becomes an academic exercise. Therefore, the said grounds are dismissed as academic. 10. In the result, the assessee s is partly allowed Order pronounced in the open court on 2nd June, 2014. - - TaxTMI - TMITax .....
