The Calcutta High Court, on Friday, dismissed a writ petition filed against the order passed by the income tax department wherein the petitioner wanted to rectify the mistakes apparent from records in a revisional order passed under section 264 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
The petitioner, an individual, approached the High Court challenging the order rejecting the petitioner’s application under Section 154 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for rectification of the alleged mistake in the order dated 22nd December 2011 passed under Section 264 of the Act on the ground that the Commissioner while disposing of the application of the petitioner under Section 264 of the Act has committed a mistake apparent from records by not taking into consideration or dealing with the issues raised by the petitioner in his order under Section 264 of the Act which has been pointed out in his application under Section 154 of the Act.
Justice Mohammad Nizamuddin observed that the issues alleged by the Petitioner are absent and have no reference at all in the application of the petitioner under Section 264 of the Act and the petitioner has attempted to make out a new case in his application under section 154 of the Act.
Dismissing the petition, the Court held that “considering the facts as appeared from the records and submission of Mr. Sen, learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner and that he could not improve his application under Section 264 of the Act, which is the basis of his application, I am of the considered view that the Commissioner was perfectly justified in passing the impugned order under Section 154 of the Act rejecting the claim of the petitioner for rectification of the order passed under section 264 of the Act on the issues which were not at all the subject matter of the original application under Section 264 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.”
