GKN DRIVESHAFTS INDIA LIMITED Vs. INCOME TAX OFFICER

Decided On November 25, 2002
GKN DRIVESHAFTS (INDIA) LIMITED Appellant
V/S
INCOME TAX OFFICER Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Heard learned counsel for the parties

(2.) Leave is granted.

(3.) By the order under challenge, a division bench of the High Court at Delhi dismissed the writ petition filed by the appellant challenging the validity of notices issued under sections 148 and 143 (2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The High court took the view that the appellant could have taken all the objections in its reply to the notices and that, at that stage, the writ petition was premature. Accordingly, the writ petition was dismissed on 31st January, 2001. Aggrieved by that order, the appellant is in appeal before us.
