HC dismisses Petition to seek early hearing, while assessee was taking adjournments on frivolous grounds

February 13, 2017 2145 Views 0 comment Print

It appears to be time delaying tactics and abuse of the legal process. In fact on 11th July, 2016 the last adjournment sought by the petitioner was to fix the hearing of the appeal in August 2016. The very fact that the petitioner has been seeking adjournment time and again before the CIT (A) and filing the petition in this Court seeking early hearing of its appeal is an abuse of the process of law.
