In Brief
The Commissioner of Income Tax challenged a High Court order in a tax matter by filing a Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court. The petition was filed with some delay. The Supreme Court condoned the delay, granted leave to appeal, and decided that the petition would be heard together with a related Civil Appeal (No. 2651 of 2015) to address common issues efficiently and ensure consistent adjudication of the matters involved.
