Sec. 147 of Income Tax Act, 1961 - Re-assessment - There is no tangible material for the respondent to come to the conclusion that there is escapment of income from assessment. Moreover, there is no live link for formation of such belief while recording the reasons for reopening the assessment. In such circumstances, when the entire material had been placed by the petitioner before the AO, who accepted the view canvassed by the assessee then merely because he did not record such acceptance in assessment order would not be a ground to conclude that income has escaped the assessment, and therefore, the assessment is required to be reopened. Appeal of the assesse allowed by quashing and set aside the impugned notice issued under Section 148 of the Act,1961. - ASIAN TUBES PVT. LTD. V/s DEPUTY CIT - [2020] 425 ITR 613 (GUJ)
