AO based on information emanated from Investigation Wing initiated reassessment proceedings and framed assessment under section 144 read with section 147 on account of no response to notice issued under section 148. Assessee's case was that notice under section 148 was issued to a wrong address.Held: Address in the notice issued under section 148 was as per information received at, No. 387, 'Skanha', 4th Main, TK Layout, Mysore, whereas, address, where assessee was residing was No. 723, 10th cross, 2nd stage, Siddharth Nagar, Nazarabad Mohalla, Mysore. It is a fact that, AO before issuing notices did not verify with details that were already available with revenue like address mentioned on PAN Card, etc., filed by assessee.

Under such circumtances, impugned notice under section 148 issued at wrong address could not be held to be valid and assessment order passed consequent to such notice was quashed.
