Impugned order can be quashed if the taxpayer has not willfully evaded the payment of tax


Quick Summary
This High Court judgement clarifies that an order related to tax evasion can be overturned if the taxpayer can demonstrate they did not willfully evade paying their taxes. The court considered petitions seeking to set aside previous orders and quash complaints filed against the petitioners. The ruling suggests that a lack of wilful intent is a key factor in challenging such tax-related legal actions.
