J.P. Devadhar, J.1. In these two petitions, the challenge is to the two notices both dated 6th March, 2006 whereby the completed assessments for A.Y.2000-01 and A.Y. 2001-02 are sought to be reopened under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (Act for short).2. Since the reasons recorded for reopening of the assessments are common, both these petitions are heard together and disposed off by this common judgment.3. Although the facts are not in dispute, to appreciate the rival contentions, we may note few facts in Writ Petition No.43 of 2007.4.
