The Tribunal held that the reassessment order dated December 30, 2016, was not sustainable. The primary reason for this decision was the lack of territorial jurisdiction of the Assessing Officer who initiated the reassessment proceedings. The ITO, Ward-3(2), Jaipur, issued the Section 148 notice but did not have the territorial jurisdiction to assess the appellant. Subsequently, the ITO, Ward-46(1), Kolkata, who framed the reassessment, never issued any Section 148 notice. The Tribunal relied on the jurisdictional High Court's decision in Ramshila Enterprise Pvt. Ltd. vs. DCIT, Central Circle, Kolkata (2016) 383 ITR 546 (Cal), which held that proceedings without the concerned authority having territorial jurisdiction are not upheld. Consequently, the Tribunal quashed the reassessment order. As the reassessment order itself was quashed, the revision proceedings initiated by the PCIT under Section 263 were rendered non-est to the extent they were collateral proceedings. The Tribunal did not decide on the merits of whether the land was agricultural or not, or the correctness of the Patwari's certificate, as the jurisdictional defect rendered the entire reassessment invalid.

Furthermore, mere non-discussion of an issue in the assessment order does not automatically render it erroneous and prejudicial to the revenue.
