In Brief
The Principal Commissioner of Income Tax sought special leave to appeal against an earlier order in a dispute with Ranjit Kaur. The Supreme Court, presided over by Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman, considered the petition despite the delay in its filing and dismissed it on the merits. The Court condoned the delay and disposed of all pending applications. The judgment contains minimal substantive reasoning, focusing primarily on the procedural disposition.
