Background of this case law:
Ministry has amended section 148 of the Income Tax Act, wherein new procedure and time lines were defined under the Income Tax Act to conduct re-assessment proceedings.
The new procedure was made effective from 01.04.2021. However, Income Tax department had still issued notice u/s 148 after 01.04.2021 in the old procedure and it was challenged by many assessee in different High Courts. Summary of the same is as under:

“1. Issue notice. Mr. Ajeet Manwani, learned counsel waives service for the Respondents. Objections be filed in six weeks.
2. Learned counsel for Petitioner states that the impugned notice dated 7th April, 2021 issued under Section 148 of the Act is unsustainable in law and in as much as it is issued after expiry of a period of six years prescribed in terms of the first proviso to Section 149 of the Act.
3. List on 10th October, 2022.
