The Delhi High Court on Thursday rejected the pleas moved by the Congress party against the initiation of income tax re-assessment proceedings against it for four years by the tax authorities.
The matter was heard by a division bench of Justices Yashwant Varma and Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav.
Earlier on March 22, the court dismissed the petitions filed by Congress to challenge the re-assessment proceedings for assessment years 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17.
The latest four petitions for other assessment years in relation to which IT Department has initiated their proceedings, were dismissed by the court on similar grounds on Thursday.
The Congress party in the recent few weeks faced multiple tax-related proceedings. Launching an attack on the ruling BJP government, Congress has accused the Union government of attempting to financially “cripple” the party ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
Congress has received back-to-back dismissals from the courts against its challenge to the proceedings initiated by the IT Department.
