Summary
- The Karnataka High Court has quashed a reassessment notice under Section 148, emphasizing that such proceedings cannot begin with mere doubts or lead to fishing enquiries.
- Petitioner Udai Raj Chordia had claimed ₹1,42,80,000 as commission income from Tata AIG but argued his disclosures were ignored by the Assessing Officer.
- The court found the Assessing Officer failed to adequately consider the petitioner’s response and supporting documents before issuing the notice.
- While the notice was quashed, the court restored proceedings for fresh consideration, allowing potential reassessment if justified after proper examination.
