The respondent is Jagat Novel Exhibitors Pvt. Ltd. (assessee). The appeal concerns assessment year(s) not explicitly stated in the provided text. The core of the dispute revolves around a notice issued to the assessee under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act and the subsequent reassessment framed pursuant to that notice. The ITAT had previously ruled on this matter, leading to the present appeal by the revenue. The High Court has admitted the appeal and formulated substantial questions of law for determination.

Whether the ITAT was correct in holding that the notice issued to the assessee under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, as well as the reassessment framed in pursuance thereto, was invalid? 2. In case the answer to question No. 1 is in the affirmative, whether the income originally returned by the assessee could not be brought to tax?
