The note addresses territorial competence to challenge rejection of a tax withholding certificate application and the mandatory requirement for a reasoned order when refusing applications under Rule 28AA read with the governing withholding regime. It concludes that, on the facts examined (prior certificates, address of the impugned order, and prior proceedings), the petition was maintainable before the forum despite issuance from another location.
