Reassessment—Income escaping assessment -Since the sale consideration has been accepted by the Department itself in the case of the purchaser no case is made out in initiating proceedings under section 147 of the Act in the case of the seller of the property. This amounts to approbation and reprobation, which is not permissible under the law. The Department cannot blow hot and cold in the same breath, accepting the position in the case of the purchaser, while calling it in question in the case of the seller, i.e., the assessee. Holding it to be a mere change of opinion, the initiation of proceedings under section 147 of the Act in the case of the assessee is held to be null and void. Accordingly, the initiation of proceedings under section 147 of the Act, and everything pursuant to such initiation, culminating in the order under appeal, are quashed.

Friends, it has been held that Once Settlement Commission has completed proceedings, its order has to be considered conclusive as regards matters “stated therein” per Section 245I and reopening any proceeding in respect of matters covered in order would be barred. Any reassessment proceedings sought to be excluded from purview of “case” must be in respect of Section 148 notice sent while proceedings before Settlement Commission are ongoing. Once Settlement Commission had completed proceedings, its order had to be considered conclusive as regards matters “stated therein” per Section 245I and reopening any proceeding in respect of matters covered in order would be barred. Therefore, impugned notice issued to assessee u/s. 153C could not be sustained. Hence, impugned notice and all further proceedings quashed. It was open to the respondent/Revenue to move the Settlement Commission for appropriate relief of declaration that its previous order under Section 245D (6) is void, setting out the relevant facts and circumstances.
