Quick Summary

The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that assessments made under Section 144-B of the Income Tax Act, 1961, can be reviewed by the High Court directly, without requiring a formal appeal. This decision acknowledges that the appeal process can be cumbersome and that faceless assessments often lack personal hearings. The court has stayed the operation of an assessment order in this case, pending further review.

Leaned counsel relies on the judgment passed by the High Court of Delhi and this Court in writ petition No.6047/2021 M/s Devgiri Exports Vs. The Income Tax Officer as also the judgment passed by Supreme Court in Whirlpool Corporation Vs. Registrar of Trade Marks Mumbai, reported in 1998 (8) SCC to submit that the assessment done under Section 144-B of Income Tax, 1961 can be examined by the High Court without insisting upon filing of an appeal which is not only cumbersome but also virtually is in the same prospective as there is no personal hearing provided.
