What is R.K. Upadhyaya v. Shanabhai P. Patel authority for?

While issuance of a Section 148 notice is a jurisdictional requirement for reassessment, its service is a condition precedent for making the assessment order, not merely for assuming jurisdiction. Valid service can occur anytime before the assessment's completion, and participation does not waive the mandatory requirement of proper notice service.
