..... ainbow Agri Industries at the face value at ₹ 1/-. The A.O. determined fair market value at ₹ 3.50/- without bringing any material on record to show that the assessee received more than the agreed consideration.

..... However, the decision of the Supreme Court in CIT vs. Kelvinator of India Ltd. [2010} 320 ITR 561 (SC) makes it clear that an assessment cannot be reopened on the basis of a mere change of opinion. There should be tangible material to come to a conclusion that there is an escapement of income from assessment year may furnish a foundation to reopen an assessment for an earlier assessment year. However, there must be some new facts which came to light in the course of assessment for the subsequent assessment year which emerge in the order of the assessment. Otherwise, a mere change of opinion on the part of the Assessing officer in the course of assessment for a subsequent assessment year would not by itself legitimize the reopening of an ass .....

A fair and reasonable construction of section 52(2)would be read into it a condition that it would apply only where the consideration for the transfer is understated or, in other words, the assessee has actually received a larger consideration for the transfer than what is declared in the instrument of transfer and it would have no application in case of a bona fide transaction where the full value of the consideration for the transfer is correctly de .....
