Held that both the draft as well as final assessment orders had been passed in the name of a non-existent company. Passing of an order in the name of an entity which has merged with another entity will make the order void ab initio as it cannot be treated as a mere procedural irregularity but affects the jurisdiction of the Assessing Officer. The assessment order passed in the name of a non-existent entity is held to be void ab initio hence quashed. (AY. 2016-17)
