2Regard being had to being had to had to to the similarity of the questionsimilarity of the questionof the questionthe questionquestioninvolved, on the joint request of the parties, the matters areartalogously heard and decided by this common order.
3. It is common ground taken by the learned counsel forthe petitioner(s) that in furtherance of Financ e Act, 2O2l , re-assessment process stood modified but the respondents have nottaken care of it and therefore notices issued under Section 14gof the Income Tax Act, 1961 cannot sustain judicial scrutiny.
Since notices are bad in law, ,'n. .orr".Orential orders ar.'-"obad in l4w.bad in l4w.
4. During the course of hearing, learned counsel for theparties agreed that curtains on this issue are finally drawn bythis Court in a batch of writ petitions, W.p.No.25903 of 2022and other connected matters, decided by common order dated14.O9.2023. The parties agreed that this matter may be disposedof in terms of the Common Order dated 14.09 -2023.
5This Court in the said order dated 14.09.2023 inW.P.No.25903 of 2022, held as under:
"35. ln view of the aforesaid discussions, it is by now very clear thatthe procedure to be followed by the respondent-Department upontreating the notices issued for teassessment being undel Sectionl/t84, the subsequent proceedings was mandatorily required to beundertaken under the substituted provisions as laid down under theFinance Act, 2021, ln the absence of which, we are constrained to holdthat the procedure adopted by the respondent-Department is incontravention to the statute i.e. the Finance Acl, 2O2,1, at the firstinstance. Secondly, it is also in direct contravention to th€ directivesissued by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Ashish Agarwal,supra.36. For all the aforesaid reasons, the impugned notices issued and theproceedings drawn by the respondent-Department is neither tenable,nor sustainable. The notices so issued and the procedure adoptedbeing per se illegal, deserves to be and are accordingly setasaderquashed. As a consequence, all the impugned orders gettingquashed, the consequential orde6 passed by the respondentOepa.tment pursuant to the notices issued under Section 117 and 18would also get quashed and it is ordered accordingly. The reason rveare quashing the consequential otder is on the principles that whenthe initiation of the proceedings itself was procedurally wrong, thesubsequent orders also gets nullffied automatically.
-r-
\
37. The preliminary objection raised by the petitioner is sustained andall these writ petitions stands allowed on this very jurisdictional issue.Since the impugned notices and orders are getting quashed on thepoint of iurisdiction, we are not inclined to proceed further and decidethe other issues raised by the petitioner which stands reserved to beraised and contended in an appropriate proceedings.38. Since the Hon'ble Supreme Court had, in the case of AshishAgan /al, supra, as a one-time measure exercising the powerc underArticle 142 of the Constitution of lndia, permitted the Revenue toproceed under the substituted provisions, and this Court allotying thepetitions only on the procedural flaw, the right conferred on theRevenue would remain reserved to proceed further if they so wantfrom the stage of the order of the Supreme Court in the case of AshishAgarwal, supra.39. No order as to costs."

In view of the consensus arrived, the impugned Show
