Versus The Jt. Commissioner of Income-tax, Special Range-3, Bengaluru - TMI Issues: Stay application seeking extension of stay granted by Tribunal.Issue 1: Stay Extension ApplicationThe assessee filed a stay application seeking an extension of the stay granted by the Tribunal in a previous order. The counsel for the assessee argued that the appeal was adjourned multiple times due to reasons beyond their control, leading to the stay granted earlier expiring soon. The Revenue, however, requested the assessee to pay further amounts towards the outstanding demand.Issue 2: Rival ContentionsThe Tribunal heard the rival contentions and noted that there were no changes in the facts and circumstances of the case. The delay in disposing of the appeal was deemed not attributable to the assessee. Consequently, the Tribunal decided to extend the stay for an additional 180 days from the date of the order or until the appeal's disposal, whichever comes first. The Tribunal also cautioned the assessee against seeking adjournments without reasonable cause, as such actions could lead to a review of the stay order by the Division Bench.ConclusionThe Tribunal allowed the stay application filed by the assessee, extending the stay for a further period. The order was pronounced in the open court on 10th January 2020.
