Revenue Appeal Dismissed: HC Upholds ITAT's Decision on Stay Extension Beyond 365 Days, Aligning with SC's Guidelines.
The appeal by the revenue was dismissed, with the HC upholding the ITAT's decision to extend the stay beyond 365 days. The SC had previously determined that such extensions are permissible unless the delay is attributable to the assessee. Consequently, the tribunal's orders were affirmed, and a similar appeal by the revenue was also dismissed. No costs were awarded.
Issues involved: The appeal of the revenue assails an order granting extension of stay beyond 365 days by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.
Comprehensive details: The respondent-assessee's application for extension of stay was allowed by the tribunal due to the revenue seeking adjournments on various occasions, while the assessee sought adjournment only once. The tribunal found the application fit for extension as the conditions of the stay order were complied with and the appeal was fixed for final hearing. The revenue challenged this decision, questioning the correctness of extending the stay beyond 365 days.
Legal Interpretation: The counsel for the revenue acknowledged that the issue raised was settled by the Supreme Court in the case "Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. Pepsi Foods Ltd." The Delhi High Court had initially struck down the provision limiting the extension of stay to 365 days, even if the delay was not attributable to the assessee. The Supreme Court upheld this decision, clarifying that the delay in disposing of the appeal must be attributable to the assessee for the stay to be vacated after the specified period.
Conclusion: Considering the authoritative pronouncement of the Supreme Court on the interpretation of the relevant provision, the High Court found that the question of law raised was conclusively answered. The appeal was disposed of, upholding the tribunal's orders. Another appeal by the revenue, related to a similar order, was also disposed of in line with the earlier decision.
Note: No costs were awarded in either appeal.
