In Brief
The Supreme Court considered a Special Leave Petition filed by the Commissioner of Income Tax against a High Court judgment concerning Namdhari Seeds. The petition was filed beyond the prescribed time limit. The Court condoned the delay, granted leave to appeal, and admitted the petition. The substantive case was directed to be heard jointly with a related civil appeal, indicating the Court found merit in considering the tax matter despite the procedural delay.
