  • dispenses with enquiry by Assessing Officer with the prior approval of specified authorities under clause (a) of section 148A as one time measure; and
  • Assessing officer to furnish to assesses all material relied upon by them within 30 days from today i.e. 4th May, 2022; and
  • Assesses are free to raise defences which may be available to him before Assessing Officer within two weeks thereafter.

Finally, this SC order shall be applicable PAN India and all judgement and orders passed by different HCs on the issue and on similar noticed issued after 1.4.2021 pending in the various courts.
