In Brief
The assessee challenged the High Court's order transferring income tax proceedings from Kanpur to Meerut. The Supreme Court found no legal basis to interfere with this procedural transfer order and dismissed the special leave petition. However, the Court clarified that the transfer order's observations will not bind the substantive merit adjudication pending before the Appellate Authority, and the assessee remains entitled to raise all available legal contentions on merit.
