2016 (7) TMI 1630 - HC - Companies LawSeeking to direct the Central Board of Direct Taxes and the Investigation Team of the Income Tax Department to take action on the complaints sent by him as against the companies - HELD THAT:- It appears that the writ petitioner has virtually declared a war on the contesting private respondent, in different forums. But, unfortunately, for the contesting respondents, the Principal Director of Income Tax (Investigation) has come up with the counter affidavit, indicating that some investigation is in progress. According to Mr. J.V. Prasad, learned Senior Standing Counsel, this investigation need not necessarily be at the instance of the writ petitioner. Even an enemy, could provide the trigger point for an investigation. If a mandamus is sought from a Court, the Court would certainly reject a prayer of this nature made by a person, who camouflages a private cause under the garb of a public cause - But once the official respondents have taken cognizance and initiated some action, the same cannot be prevented even if we condemn the action of the writ petitioners. Therefore, we do not wish to get into the details of the litigation as between the petitioner and the contesting respondents. In view of the statement made on oath by the Principal Director of Income Tax (Investigation), no orders are necessary in these writ petitions - Petition disposed off.
