Yes, Assessment can be re-opened u/s 148 on to match the case with subsequent ruling established by Apex Court...such reopening doesn't mean change in opinion ...but will constitute Tangible Material forming a reason to believe that income has escaped assessment.....
But yes, the re-opening can be made only wirhin the time limits prescribed u/s 149 i.e. 4/6/16 yrs. as may be applicable .....
