In Brief
In this Special Leave Petition arising from an Income Tax Appellate Authority decision, the Supreme Court condoned the delay in filing the petition but found no grounds to entertain it further. The Court exercised its discretionary jurisdiction under Article 136 of the Constitution to decline to grant leave to appeal. The petition was consequently dismissed without addressing the substantive tax issues raised, leaving the impugned High Court judgment intact.
