Section 127, 132(4) HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY on Jul 15, 2019 held that when the ‎assessment of an Assessee is being transferred from one Commissionerate to another, the ‎requirement of hearing and following the principle of natural justice is inbuilt in the ‎statutory provisions contained in Section 127 of the Act. Therefore the giving of notice to ‎the assessee containing the reasons and the statements or even the gist of the statements ‎to the extent relevant for the proposed action is a basic postulate. The views of the ‎noticee are to be considered by the authority before taking any decision to confirm or ‎drop the notice. A show cause notice to be effective must be adequate so as to enable a ‎party to effectively object/respond to the same. The authority concerned is obliged to ‎consider the objections, if any, and thereafter, reach a finding one way or the other. The ‎impugned order is quashed. NARESH MANAKCHAND JAIN vs PCIT. IN favour of the ‎assessee.‎

Section 153C: Delhi High Court on 09.08.2019 held that since the search took place and Notice under Section 153C prior to 1st June, 2015 and, therefore, Section 153C of the Act as it stood at the relevant time applied. Therefore, the onus was on the Revenue to show that the incriminating material/documents recovered at the time of search belongs’ to the Assessee. In other words, it is not enough for the Revenue to show that the documents either pertain’ to the Assessee or contains information that relates to’ the Assessee. Further the licence issued to the Assessee by the DTCP and the letter issued by the DTCP permitting it to transfer such licence are not incriminating material and therefore jurisdiction can not be assumed by the AO under Section 153C of the Act.
