Arjun Singh v. ADIT

246 ITR 363High Court2000#1066 most cited

What is Arjun Singh v. ADIT authority for?

For a valid reassessment, the sanctioning authority must apply its mind to the reasons for reopening the assessment under Section 147. A mechanical endorsement like 'I am satisfied' without considering the material amounts to non-application of mind and invalidates the sanction under Section 151.
