Mrs Amrita Chadha Vs CIT, Ludhiana (Dated : March 2, 2010)

Income tax - Sec 260A - condonation of delay - Sec 5 of Limitation Act - Can HC condone delay under Sec 5 of Limitation Act? - held, wherever the legislature desires to provide for condonation of delay, a specific provision has been made in the Act and, therefore, if no such provision has been made, then no application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act could be filed as the Act itself is a complete code like Excise Act, which has been considered by the Supreme Court in Hongo India Private Limited (supra). The reasoning adopted by the Supreme Court in the case of Hongo India Private Limited 2009-TIOL-48-SC-CX-LB is fully applicable to the question raised in the present appeals. Therefore, the applications seeking condonation of delay filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act cannot be accepted: PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT;
