In a huge setback to the Congress ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the Delhi High Court on Friday rejected its pleas challenging the reassessment proceedings initiated against it by the Income Tax department.
The court said the I-T department “appears to have collated substantial and concrete evidence warranting further scrutiny and examination”.
The High Court also commented that the national party has “chosen to approach this court only a few days before the time for completion of assessment would expire and at the proverbial fag end of the proceedings”.
