2015 (12) TMI 402 - HC - Income TaxWaiver of interest charged under Sections 234A and 234B seeked - Held that:- Interest charged under Section 234B of the Act was waived by respondent No.1 as the enhanced compensation and interest thereon was received by the assessee much after the due date for depositing the advance tax and for furnishing the returns of income for the assessment years 1988-89 to 1996-97. It was recorded that in such circumstances, the assessee could not have anticipated or determined the interest income that had accrued to him under the orders of the Land Acquisition Court prior to disbursement by HUDA on 13.12.1995 and 29.2.1996. On that basis, respondent No.1 held the assessee entitled to waiver of interest charged under Section 234B of the Act for the assessment years 1988-89 to 1995-96 upto 29.2.1996 Learned counsel for the assessee-petitioner could not demonstrate that there existed any illegality or perversity in the approach of respondent No.1 which may warrant interference by this Court. The discretion had been rightly exercised by respondent No.1 and no error could be pointed out in the impugned order dated 9.10.2014 (Annexure P-15). - Decided against assessee.
