Supreme Court Dismisses Income Tax Dept's 501-Day Delayed SLP

Supreme Court dismisses Income Tax Department's Special Leave Petition filed with a 501-day delay against Tata Motors Ltd.
The Court imposes a cost of ₹25,000 on the Department for the inordinate delay and lack of justification.

The petition challenged a Bombay High Court order dated 31-07-2024 in ITA No. 412/2019 concerning Tata Motors.
