2015 (8) TMI 561 - HC - Income Tax


Issues involved:
Challenge to communication rejecting document request under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.

Analysis:
The petitioner filed a writ petition challenging the communication of the first respondent rejecting the request for documents. The petitioner had requested copies of specific documents through his authorized representative, which was denied by the first respondent citing completion of scrutiny assessment and tax liability establishment. The court found the reason given for denial unacceptable, stating that the first respondent should have provided the requested documents. The Senior Standing Counsel for the respondents argued that since scrutiny assessment was completed and tax liability established, the petitioner cannot ask for proof of dispatch. The court agreed with the counsel but emphasized the petitioner's right to receive the requested documents, listing them in detail for both assessment years. The court directed the first respondent to furnish all documents requested by the petitioner within one week from the date of the order without expressing any opinion on the case's merits. The writ petition was disposed of with no costs awarded.
