In Brief
A special leave petition was filed by the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax challenging a lower court decision favoring Adani Enterprises Ltd. The Supreme Court found merit in granting leave despite delay in the petition's filing. The Court condoned the delay and granted the special leave petition, thereby converting it into Civil Appeal No. 5170 of 2016 for substantive hearing on the merits of the tax dispute.
