82 ITR 147Supreme Court of India1971#793 most cited

What is Sheo Nath Singh v. AAC authority for?

To initiate reassessment under Section 147/148, the Income Tax Officer must have an honest and reasonable 'reason to believe' that income has escaped assessment, based on cogent grounds and not mere suspicion. Reassessment is invalid if based only on a lack of analysis during the original assessment without new material.
