Ashish Saraf Vs PCIT (Delhi High Court)
The petition impugns the Certificate dated 9th January, 2021 issued by the respondent in Form-3, under Section 5(1) of the Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020, vide Acknowledgment No.158235220090121, to the extent the same treats the case of the petitioner as a search case.
