SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
S.C. SEN AND S.P. KURDUKAR, n.)
ESS KAY ENGINEERING CO. (P) LTD...Appellant;
Versus
COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX, AMRITSAR ..Respondent.
Civil Appeal No. 2577 of 1982
Decided on July 23,1997
ORDER
This is a case of reopening. We have perused the documents. We find there was material on the basis of which the Income Tax Officer could proceed to reopen the case. It is not a case of mere change of opinion. We are not inclined to interfere with the decision of the High Court merely because the case of the assessee was accepted as correct in the original assessment for this assessment year. It does not preclude the Income Tax Officer from reopening the assessment of an earlier year on the basis of his findings of fact a made on the basis of fresh materials in course of assessment of the next assessment year. The appeal is dismissed. No order as to costs.
