(a) Income Tax Ordinance (XXXI of 1979)---Ss. 65 & 53(1)---Where an assessee had been assessed under S.59(1), action under S.65 could be initiated only if subsequent to such assessment no order of assessment had been passed under S.65 or any other provision of the Ordinance---If after assessment under S.59(1) another assessment under S.65 or any other provision of the Ordinance had been framed, action under S.65 could not be taken.
