2018 (2) TMI 309 - HC - Income TaxInstructions to subordinate authorities - petitioner u/s 119(2)(b) in respect of the refund of income tax - Held that:- Whenever there is special provision in special enactment fixing the period of limitation even the Court cannot extend that period and the provision of section 5 of the Limitation Act cannot be applied in those cases. There cannot be dispute over that proposition. In the present matter, due to the provision like section 119(2)(b) made in the Income Tax Act, it can be said that discretionary power is given to the Board to issue such instructions and only after that the assessing authority can use such power. As in the past, at the time when the claim of the petitioner was considered, there was no such instruction or order from the Board, in the present matter such benefit cannot be given to the petitioner. Thus, no case is made out for interference in the order made by the Commissioner of Income Tax. In the result, both the petitions stand dismissed.
