Reversion of lender from loan confirmation forms reasonable belief to initiate action u/s 148

During the regular assessment proceedings leading to the assessment order, the eight lenders referred to in the reasons were a subject matter of examination and then assesse provided evidence in the form of loan confirmation to establish its genuineness. However, during search of one person, he admitted to have given entry only. Thus, it is submitted by the assesse that this is a case of change of opinion. High Court held that the exact nature of the transaction is only privy to the parties to the transaction and when one of the parties to the transaction states that what appears is not factually so, then the Assessing Officer certainly has tangible material to form a reasonable belief that income chargeable to tax has escaped assessment.
