C.I.T.,Delhi vs M/S.Bharti Cellular Ltd on 12 August, 2010
23. Similar, with regards to provisions of section 194J of the Act in respect
of roaming charges, we find that this issue is squarely covered in favour of the
assessee by the judgment of Hon'ble Delhi High Court in the case of Bharti
Cellular Ltd (supra) and respectfully following the same, we hold that the
assessee is not required to deduct tax u/s.194J of the Act and consequently, the
assessee shall not be treated as an assessee in default u/s 201(1) of the Act.
Once, the assessee is treated as assessee not in default u/s.201(1), the interest
u/s.201(1A) is not required to be charged. We, accordingly, allow the grounds
of appeal raised by the assessee.

anwered by a coordinate Bench of the Tribunal viz; ITAT, Mumbai 'F' Bench in

Otters Club, Mumbai vs Dit (E), Mumbai on 15 June, 2018
10. In the light of the above discussions, we are of the considered
view that rather than taking a pedantic view of the rule requiring
pronouncement of orders within 90 days, disregarding the
important fact that the entire country was in lockdown, we
should compute the period of 90 days by excluding at least the
period during which the lockdown was in force. We must factor
ground realities in mind while interpreting the time limit for the
pronouncement of the order. Law is not brooding omnipotence
in the sky. It is a pragmatic tool of the social order. The tenets of
law being enacted on the basis of pragmatism, and that is how
the law is required to interpreted. The interpretation so assigned
by us is not only in consonance with the letter and spirit of rule
34(5) but is also a pragmatic approach at a time when a disaster,
notified under the Disaster Management Act 2005, is causing
unprecedented disruption in the functioning of our justice

delivery system. Undoubtedly, in the case of Otters Club Vs DIT
[(2017) 392 ITR 244 (Bom)], Hon'ble Bombay High Court did not
approve an order being passed by the Tribunal beyond a period
of 90 days, but then in the present situation Hon'ble Bombay
High Court itself has, vide judgment dated 15th April 2020, held
that directed "while calculating the time for disposal of matters
made time- bound by this Court, the period for which the order
dated 26th March 2020 continues to operate shall be added and
time shall stand extended accordingly". The extraordinary steps
taken suo motu by Hon'ble jurisdictional High Court and Hon'ble
Supreme Court also indicate that this period of lockdown cannot
be treated as an ordinary period during which the normal time
limits are to remain in force. In our considered view, even
without the words "ordinarily", in the light of the above analysis
of the legal position, the period during which lockout was in
force is to excluded for the purpose of time limits set out in rule
34(5) of the Appellate Tribunal Rules, 1963. Viewed thus, the
exception, to 90-day time-limit for pronouncement of orders,
inherent in rule 34(5)(c), with respect to the pronouncement of
orders within ninety days, clearly comes into play in the present
case. "
