Held, that a charge\/set aside by a judicial forum cannot be reopened in parallel proceedings. The authority under the 2015 Act had alleged several transactions listed therein as illegal transactions. A careful perusal of the notice clearly indicated that the authority under the Act had prejudged and formed an opinion that the petitioner was the beneficial owner of\u00a0 Romulus Assets\u00a0 Ltd (RAL)\u00a0 This contention of the Revenue had not been accepted by the Tribunal which held that the Assessing Officer had not discharged the burden to prove that the petitioner was the beneficial owner of RAL.(Jitendra Virwaani v. Dy.CIT\u00a0 (2022)28 ITR (Trib) -OL 435 (Bang.)\u00a0 At least a portion of the notice was based on the allegations set aside by the Tribunal. Therefore, the notice was not valid.
