A case can not be reopened by AO merely on the basis of Supreme Court Judgement.
1) After decision of ITAT if the department is not satisfied with the subject matter of appeal, it may prefer an appeal into High Court provided the case involves a substantial question of law.. However, there are certain restrictions on departments on criteria of tax amount involved. (Time Limit- 120days from the date of receiving of order by the party) 2) If the case has been decided by the CIT(A) against the Department, it can prefer an appeal with ITAT. (Time Limit 60Days from the date of communication of Order) However, opinion of other experts is also required in this matter.
1) If case is pending with ITAT case can not be reopened.
2) If case is decided in CIT (A)then department can file appeal to ITAT within the time limit specified i.e. 60 days from the date of communication of order.
