M/S NANGLOI EDUCATION SOCIETY vs. COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX EXEMPTIONS & ORS.
What did the High Court hold?
The High Court disposed of the writ petitions by directing the respondent, through the concerned authority, to dispose of the petitioner's representation dated 30.01.2024 within a period of twelve weeks. The decision of the authority was to be communicated to the petitioner. The Court also granted liberty to the petitioner to file an additional representation within three weeks from the date of the order. Furthermore, the petitioner was granted liberty to seek such remedies as available in law if aggrieved by the order to be passed by the respondent authority. The Court did not decide the merits of the refund claims or the revision of returns. The pending applications were also disposed of as infructuous.
What were the facts?
The petitioner, M/s Nangloi Education Society, filed two writ petitions before the Delhi High Court. In W.P.(C) 16469/2025, the petitioner sought a writ of mandamus to direct the respondents to refund pre-paid taxes deducted for Assessment Year (AY) 2021-22 amounting to Rs. 1,64,514/- along with interest, and a writ of certiorari to permit revision of the income tax return for AY 2021-22 to take credit for TDS. In W.P.(C) 16478/2025, similar prayers were made for AY 2022-23, seeking a refund of Rs. 2,32,535/- and permission to revise the return to claim TDS credit. Both petitions also prayed for a direction to decide a letter/application dated 30.01.2024 seeking rectification of returns.
What were the issues?
1. Whether the Petitioner is entitled to a refund of pre-paid taxes deducted for AY 2021-22 amounting to Rs. 1,64,514/- along with interest, and permission to revise their income tax return for AY 2021-22 to take credit of TDS. (Question of law and fact, concerning refund and revision of returns based on TDS credit). 2. Whether the Petitioner is entitled to a refund of pre-paid taxes deducted for AY 2022-23 amounting to Rs. 2,32,535/- along with interest, and permission to revise their income tax return for AY 2022-23 to take credit of TDS. (Question of law and fact, concerning refund and revision of returns based on TDS credit). Assessee's Contention: The petitioner sought directions for refund, permission to revise returns to claim TDS credit, and for the respondent authorities to decide their rectification application dated 30.01.2024. The petitioner's counsel ultimately submitted that the representation made by the petitioner dated 30.01.2024 should be directed to be disposed of by the concerned authority. Revenue's Contention: The judgment records submissions from the learned counsel for the respondent, but does not detail their specific arguments on the merits of the refund or revision claims. The focus of the hearing appears to have shifted to the disposal of the pending representation.
