Shri Chaitanya Kochar, Hinganghat vs I.T.O., Wardha on 28 April, 2022
Thus in the context it only mean that the assessee will not object to the
territorial jurisdiction of I.T.O. Wardha to make assessment, obviously
according to law. It was submitted that even the court cannot give
direction to the authority under the Act to ignore the period of limitation
prescribed under the Act. Reliance is placed by ld.AR on the decision of
Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Hope Textile Ltd. and another Vs.
Union of India and others reported in (1994) 205 I.T.R. P.508. In the
said case for A.Y.1971-72 assessee's return declaring loss was accepted
by order dt.27.03.1974. On 21.02.1976 reassessment notice was issued
u/s.148. In pursuance thereof assessee filed return disclosing further
loss. No assessment was made till Sept.1981. Appellant therefore filed a
Writ of Mandamus in High Court for directing the Income Tax Officer to
pass an order in pursuance of notice.
