The dominant issue was whether delay in filing the return could be condoned under section 119(2)(b) on the ground of "genuine hardship." The Court held that ignorance of tax law is no excuse, and the plea of illiteracy did not establish reasonable cause, particularly since the assessee had timely filed the return for an earlier assessment year, indicating awareness of the filing process.
