Sh. Paramjeet Singh, New Delhi vs Ito, New Delhi on 9 February, 2017
The ITO
Ward 3(5) Gurugram does not seem to have made any
inquiry or the relevant issues before issuing a notice u/s
148 of the Act to the Appellant. No material in this
behalf has been brought before us by the Department.
The High Court of Punjab & Haryana in Lt. Col.
Paramjeet Singh vs. Cit (1996) 220 ITR 446 has ruled that
if the assessment proceedings of an assessee is to be
reopened or if the income for the relevant assessment
year is to be reassessed, it is the Income-tax Officer who
22
I.T.A. Nos. 3033, 3031 & 3032/Del/2017
could assess the same in the first instance who has
jurisdiction to proceed in the matter u/s 147 read with
Section 148 of the Act, unless of course the case had
been transferred by a competent authority to another
AO u/s 127 of the Act. No such transfer order u/s 127 of
the Act has been produced before us to validate the
jurisdiction as assumed by the ITO, Ward 3(5),
Gurugram. It is thus clear that the assumption of
jurisdiction to reassess the Appellant by the Gurugram
AO is irregular and fallacious. In a similar situation the
Delhi Bench of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal in the
case of Attar Singh & Ors. ITA No. 2682/Del/2018 dated
08.08.2019 has held that the assumption of jurisdiction
by a different AO at Gurugram who was other than the
AO holding jurisdiction over the assessee for the
relevant year was invalid. Respectfully following that
order and with facts being similar we hold that the
assumption of jurisdiction by the ITO, Ward 3(5),
Gurugram in the case of the Appellant is erroneous,
illegal and void."
