What is Ram Balram Buildhome (P.) Ltd. v. Income-tax Officer authority for?

The Supreme Court's judgment in Ashish Agarwal does not allow for the issuance of a fresh reassessment notice under the new regime if the initial notice under the pre-amended Section 148 was already time-barred under the old law, even considering the benefit of extended limitation periods, prior to April 1, 2021. Consequently, any subsequent notice issued under the new Section 148 in such a scenario is invalid.
