10. Before considering the facts of the case coupled
with the submissions canvassed by learned
advocates for the parties, I would like to rely
upon the decision of the Coordinate Bench of this
Court in case of Vipul Chavda (supra) upon which
reliance has been placed by learned advocate for
the petitioner, wherein the Coordinate Bench of
this Court has considered the maintainability of
the petition before this Court, the provision of
the Income Tax Act as also decisions of the
Hon'ble Supreme Court as well as other High Courts
and allowed the Income Tax Department to undertake
all actions available under the law. Relevant
paragraphs of the said decisions are produced
hereunder,
"11. I am not impressed by the preliminary
objection raised on behalf of the respondent
No.2 as regards the maintainability of this
application under Article 227 of the
Constitution of India on the ground that the
impugned order is revisable and, therefore, a
revision application should have been filed.
It is always open for this Court, in exercise
of its supervisory jurisdiction under Article
227 of the Constitution of India, to look into
the legality and validity of an order passed
by the Magistrate. In such circumstances, I
overrule the preliminary objection. I would
like to examine the matter on merits rather
than rejecting this application and asking the
department to file a revision application
before the Sessions Court.
5. The attention of the Court was invited to the judgment of the this
Court in the case of Vipul Chavda v. State of Gujarat, [2018] 90
