1. Aforesaid appeal by revenue for Assessment Year (AY) 2019-20 arises out of an order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), NFAC [CIT(A)] dated 26-06-2025 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing Officer [AO] u/s 147 r.w.s. 144B of the Act on 26-12-2023. The undisputed position that emerges that Hon’ble High Court has quashed the notice issued u/s 148 in assessee’s CWP No.30482 of 2024 dated 12-11-2024. Considering the same, Ld.

Since the Hon’ble High Court has already quashed the notice issued to the assessee u/s 148, the assessment so framed by Ld. AO would not survive. Therefore, I find no reason to interfere in the impugned order.
