Delay in e-filing charitable trust audit report Form 10B, risking exemption claim; refusal to condone set aside, appeal dismissed.
Whether delay in e-filing the audit report in Form 10B for a charitable trust should be condoned to enable consideration of exemption was the dominant issue. The HC held that the assessee had shown a bona fide and honest cause-its accountant's unawareness of the newly introduced online filing-coupled with the fact that the audit report had already been filed; refusal would unjustly foreclose exemption for a trust providing medical relief. Consequently, the revenue's refusal to condone the delay was quashed. The SC, exercising discretion under Art. 136, found no ground to interfere and dismissed the petition, leaving the HC's order intact.
Delay was condoned. After hearing counsel for the petitioner, the Court declined to grant relief, holding that "in the facts and circumstances of the case, we are not inclined to interfere with the order impugned in exercise of our discretionary power under Article 136 of the Constitution of India." Exercising its discretionary jurisdiction under Article 136, the Court dismissed the petition. Any pending application(s) were disposed of consequentially.
