December 3, 2024

Case Laws     Income Tax     HC

The High Court dismissed the criminal revision petition filed by the petitioner against the conviction u/s 277 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The court upheld the concurrent findings of the lower courts convicting the petitioner for furnishing a false statement knowingly or with reason to believe it to be false. The court held that the prosecution had proved the foundational facts, and the petitioner failed to dislodge the presumption of 'culpable mental state' u/s 278E beyond reasonable doubt. The court found no perversity or illegality in the impugned judgments of conviction and sentence, and the revision petition was dismissed.
