Period of limitation in remand case - The impugned order has not been passed in consequence of, or to give effect to, any decision of this court which requires the re-assessment of the Assessee/Petitioner. Further, it may be noted that this Court, while disposing of the miscellaneous application vide order dated 17th January, 2020, could not have extended the period of limitation contrary to the statute. On a plain reading of the same, it is evident that this Court only permitted the Respondents to take recourse to further proceedings consistent with the extant laws and the law laid down by this Court in the judgment noted therein. This liberty cannot be construed to mean that the limitation period was extended beyond statutory confines. - HC
