The Delhi High Court reserved its verdict on the Congress’s plea against the tax reassessment proceedings initiated against it by the Income Tax department for three successive years from 2014-15.
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday reserved its verdict on the Congress’s plea against the tax reassessment proceedings initiated against it by the Income Tax department for three successive years from 2014-15.
“You will get the order by tomorrow [Thursday] or the day after,” a Bench of Justices Yashwant Varma and Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav said after hearing the lawyers representing the Congress and the I-T Department.
The High Court was hearing the Congress’s pleas against reassessment proceedings for three years – 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17.
Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, representing the Congress, said the tax reassessment proceedings are barred by limitation and the I-T department could have gone back to a maximum of six assessment years.
On the other hand, the I-T department said there was no violation of any statutory provision by the tax authority. The I-T department said as per the material recovered, the “escaped” income by the party is more than ₹520 crore.
The Congress has also moved the High Court with separate pleas against tax reassessment proceedings initiated for four different years. The High Court has listed the case for hearing on Thursday.
Last week, the High Court had rejected the Congress plea challenging an order of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) declining to stay an I-T department notice for recovery of outstanding tax of more than ₹100 crore.
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
