Application for settlement of cases - High Court has observed that, the assessment order for A.Ys. 2013-14 to 2019-20 could not have been passed as the application filed by the petitioner for settlement is considered to be pending and the Interim Board is required to exercise all the powers of the Settlement Commission with regard to pending application and accordingly, as per provision of section 245F(2) of the Act, the Interim Board is vested with the powers of the Settlement Commission and jurisdiction and Income Tax authority could not have proceeded further with the assessment proceedings in view of the pendency of the settlement application before the Interim Board.
