In case of HCL TECHNOLOGIES LTD. vs. DEPUTY
COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX & ANR, (2017) 99 CCH 0124
DelHC : (2017) 397 ITR 0469 (Delhi), the Hon'ble Delhi High
Court held as under:
Income Tax Officer, I Ward, Dist, Vi, ... vs Lakhmani Mewal Das on 30 March, 1976
7,12,00,000/- was given to M/s Ferro Concrete Const. (I) Pvt.
Ltd. to M/s Keti Constructions Ltd.". Thus, these words show
that AO was not having "reason to believe", rather he has
reopened the case on mere "suspicion". This view is supported by
the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court rendered in case of ITO
vs. Lakhmani Mewal Das 1976 CTR (SC) 220 : (1976) 103 ITR
437 (SC) : TC51R.598 wherein Lakhmani Mewal Das vs. ITO
(1975) 99 ITR 296 (Cal)(FB) : TC51R.606 was affirmed. The
Hon'ble Supreme Court observed as under:
Lakhmani Mewal Das vs Income-Tax Officer, 'I' Ward And Ors. on 13 January, 1972
7,12,00,000/- was given to M/s Ferro Concrete Const. (I) Pvt.
Ltd. to M/s Keti Constructions Ltd.". Thus, these words show
that AO was not having "reason to believe", rather he has
reopened the case on mere "suspicion". This view is supported by
the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court rendered in case of ITO
vs. Lakhmani Mewal Das 1976 CTR (SC) 220 : (1976) 103 ITR
437 (SC) : TC51R.598 wherein Lakhmani Mewal Das vs. ITO
(1975) 99 ITR 296 (Cal)(FB) : TC51R.606 was affirmed. The
Hon'ble Supreme Court observed as under:

13. From above, we are of the view that the main component of
reasons should be AO having reason to believe. The words "has
reason to believe" are stronger than the words "is satisfied". The
belief entertained by the Assessing Officer must not be arbitrary
or irrational. It must be reasonable or in other words it must be
based on reasons which are relevant and material. Therefore, the
Court can examine whether the reasons are relevant and have a
bearing on the matters in regard to which he is required to
entertain the belief before he can issue notice under section
147(a). If there is no rational and intelligible nexus between the
reasons and the belief, so that, on such reasons, no one properly
instructed on facts and law could reasonably entertain the belief,
the conclusion would be inescapable that the Assessing Officer
could not have reason to believe that any part of the income of
the assessee had escaped assessment and such escapement was
by reason of the omission or failure on the part of the assessee to
disclose fully and truly all material facts and the notice issued by
him would be liable to be struck down as invalid. This ratio has
been laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of
Ganga Saran & Sons (P) Ltd. vs. ITO & Ors. (1981) 22 CTR (SC)
112 : (1981) 130 ITR 1 (SC) : TC51R.639 reversing the decision of

the Calcutta High Court in ITO vs. Ganga Saran & Sons (P) Ltd.
(1981) 22 CTR (SC) 112 : (1981) 130 ITR 1 (SC) : TC51R.639]. The
Hon'ble Supreme Court observed that "Having reason to believe"
Sabharwal Properties Industries Pvt. ... vs Income Tax Officer on 18 February, 2016
means that not only there is a reason for the belief but also that
the belief is entertained or formed. Having reason to believe
means that there is a reason coupled with the belief. Further,
Hon'ble Delhi High Court in case of Sabharwal Properties
Industries Pvt. Ltd. & Ors. Vs. Income Tax Officer& Ors., (2016)
95 CCH 046 (Del), observed that reasons recorded for reopening
assessment should state that Assessee had failed to disclose fully
and truly all material facts necessary for his assessment in
returns as originally filed and reasons recorded should provide
live link to formation of belief that income has escaped
assessment. Thus where reasons recorded by AO "lack clarity
and it was practically impossible to derive meaning out of it and
was incapable of being understood", reassessment notice was
liable to be quashed.
