2018 (4) TMI 1720 - HC - Income TaxStay petition - direction to pay 10% of the demand - contention of the petitioner is that the returns filed by them have been taken for scrutiny maliciously with a view to fasten liability on them for having lodged a complaint against an officer of the department - HELD THAT:- It is brought to the notice of this Court in several cases that the files are selected for scrutiny with the aid of computers. Further, in terms of the impugned order, the petitioner is asked to pay a meagre portion of the demand. In the circumstances, no justification to entertain the writ petition challenging Ext.P11 order, in exercise of my discretionary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. As Senior Counsel prayed for indulgence of this Court to extend the time prescribed for payment of 10% of the demand made in terms of Ext.P11 order. In so far as the petitioner challenged Ext.P11 order in the writ petition and since the writ petition is not being entertained, we deem it appropriate to extend the time granted to the petitioner for payment of 10% of the demand in terms of the impugned order till 12.4.2018. Ordered accordingly.
