In Brief
The Supreme Court considered an income tax appeal filed against Gopal Shri Scrips Pvt. Ltd, which had been dissolved. The court held that an appeal against a dissolved company does not survive for consideration on merits without first addressing the statutory implications under the Income Tax Act and Companies Act. The High Court had not applied these relevant statutory provisions. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and remanded it to the High Court to reconsider the matter in accordance with law, requested early resolution within six months, and avoided commenting on the merits.
