There have been several significant court judgments that have shaped the jurisprudence around reassessment proceedings. For instance, in the case of Arihant Tiles & Marbles Pvt. Ltd. v. DCIT (2018) 92 taxmann.com 242 (Guj.), the Gujarat High Court held that the Assessing Officer must have a ‘live link’ or tangible material to form a belief of income escaping assessment. Similarly, in the case of CIT v. Kelvinator of India Ltd. (2010) 320 ITR 561 (SC), the Supreme Court ruled that reassessment based on a mere change of opinion is not permissible.
