HC quashed and set aside order dated 24 January 2024 rejecting condonation application for delayed income tax return filing. Court found Additional CIT (OSD) (OT & WT) lacked authority to issue orders under s.119(2)(b) of Income Tax Act, as this power vests with CBDT.

Ruling clarified procedural requirements for exercising powers under s.119(2)(b), emphasizing proper authority and delegation channels.
