Priority/out of turn hearing of the appeals pending with CsIT (AU) and/or CIT(A) - The judgment by the Madras High Court addressed the petitioner's grievance regarding the rejection of their appeal against an assessment order. Despite acknowledging the genuine hardship faced by the petitioner, the Court declined to prioritize their case due to the backlog of appeals before the Appellate Commissioner. Instead, it advised the petitioner to file an application for a stay of recovery proceedings, granting them four weeks to do so. The respondents were directed to suspend all recovery proceedings until the application is resolved.
