The Court noted that the fees had already been paid pursuant to earlier judicial directions and that any grievance about such payment would ordinarily fall within the Income-tax Act regime. Relying on the non obstante effect of Section 24 of the MSMED Act, the Court formed a prima facie view that the Council could not invoke jurisdiction once the statutory audit fees had been paid in terms of the Court's order, and stayed the proceedings and the impugned order. en-us Mon, 23 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 07:57:11 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=308718 A jurisdictional objection was raised to the MSME Facilitation Council's reference, on the basis that the dispute concerned statutory audit fees governed by the Income-tax Act rather than a claim within the MSMED Act framework.
