Income Tax Order Not Uploaded on Website or Otherwise Served: Jharkhand HC Disposes Petition, Allows Appeal [Read Order]

The High Court of Jharkhand at Ranchi held that an income tax assessment order was not uploaded on the website or otherwise served to the appellant. Thus, the petition was disposed of by allowing appeal.

For the Assessment Year 2020-21, a revised order was passed on 06.02.2026 against the appellant Bhardwaj Steels Private Limited. In this, a reference was made to an earlier order under Section 272A(1)(d) dated 30.11.2022 but according to the appellant-petitioner, and his counsel, the same has not been uploaded on the website or otherwise served upon.

The counsel for the petitioner, Nitin Kumar Pasari, submitted that liberty may be granted to the petitioner to appeal the revised order dated 06.02.2026 and that directions may be issued to the respondents to furnish a copy of the order dated 30.11.2022 made under Section 272A of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

The opposing counsel for the respondents, Kumar Vaibhav, submitted that there have been instructions passed on the order dated 30.11.2022 and therefore could not accept the contentions of the petitioner’s counsel. However, a copy of the order would be provided to the petitioner within four weeks.

The bench of Chief Justice of Jharkhand High Court, M.S. Sonak, and Justice Rajesh Shankar allowed the withdrawal of the petition with liberty to appeal the revised order dated 06.02.2026 and also the order dated 30.11.2022 in accordance with law and on its merits.
