Promissory note presumption of consideration survives blank-signature and income-tax non-disclosure objections when admissions and attesting evidence ...
In criminal complaints arising during pending tax proceedings, the earlier writ order had reserved the petitioner's liberty to raise all defences before the criminal court, including a request to await the outcome of the substantive tax case. After the assessment appeal was later disposed of, the High Court held that the Magistrate's rejection of the petitioner's applications could not stand. The impugned order was quashed, the applications were restored for fresh consideration, and all rival contentions, including on Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, were left open.
