Case Laws Income Tax HC

HC upheld the income tax department's search and seizure proceedings against a political party office bearer. The court found the search warrant under Section 132 was legally valid, with sufficient documented reasons and no indication of malafides. Bank documents suggested undisclosed financial transactions. The court determined the search was prima facie justified and did not warrant judicial interference. Regarding the prohibitory order issued on 05.04.2024, the court noted its automatic expiration after 60 days as per statutory provision, rendering further judicial intervention unnecessary. The search and seizure action was deemed legally tenable and proportionate.
