Jurisdiction of the Assessing Officer under the Income Tax Act is limited post-implementation of the Faceless Scheme, invalidating notices issued under Section 148 after March 29, 2022.
The jurisdiction of the Assessing Officer to issue notices under the Income Tax Act post-faceless regime is invalid, rendering the resulting assessments void.
Jurisdiction of the Income Tax Assessing Officer to issue notices post-Faceless Scheme's implementation is invalid as established by previous judgments, rendering subsequent orders quashed.
The jurisdiction of the Assessing Officer to issue notices under the Income Tax Act is annulled if the action violates procedural norms established by recent legislative changes.
Jurisdiction for initiating proceedings under the Income Tax Act must comply with prescribed legal frameworks; failure to do so invalidates subsequent orders.
The jurisdiction for issuing notices under Section 148 post-Faceless Scheme lies solely with the faceless assessing officer, making actions taken by jurisdictional officers invalid.
The authority of jurisdictional Assessing Officers to issue notices under Section 148 post-faceless scheme is invalid, as it contravenes procedural mandates outlined in the Income Tax Act.
Assessing Officer lacks jurisdiction to issue notices post-faceless assessment scheme under Income Tax Act; all related proceedings quashed.
The court affirmed that assessment proceedings initiated without jurisdiction under Section 148 post-Faceless Scheme are void, quashing all relevant notices and orders.
