• Supreme Court dismisses Income Tax Department's Special Leave Petition against Grob Tea Company due to gross, unexplained filing delay.
• The petition challenged a Calcutta High Court order dated 13-02-2024 in WPA No. 22501/2022.
• Multiple connected petitions with similar delay condonation applications were also dismissed together.
• The dismissal is procedural and does not adjudicate the underlying income tax dispute on its merits.
