The case revolves around the reassessment proceedings initiated against Vikash Chaudhary for undisclosed investments and capital gains, with significant additions made to his declared income for the assessment year 2010-11. This led to an appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), which was dismissed on procedural grounds, prompting a further appeal to the Tribunal.
The Tribunal scrutinized the procedural validity of the reassessment under Section 148 and the subsequent appeal dismissal due to alleged non-compliance with Section 249(1)(a). Despite evidence of fee payment, the initial appeal was dismissed, highlighting procedural lapses that necessitated a remand for de-novo consideration.
The document analyzes the legal arguments concerning the jurisdiction of the Assessing Officer under Section 148, the impact of procedural missteps on the merits of the case, and the implications of such errors on the principles of natural justice and fair assessment.
