Hirday Naran v. Income Tax Officer

78 ITR 26Supreme Court of India1970#2040 most cited

What is Hirday Naran v. Income Tax Officer authority for?

Even if statutory language appears merely enabling, courts infer a duty to exercise such power when it aids a citizen's right. Public authorities cannot decline to act when circumstances warrant help, nor can they act to a person's detriment without justification.

56

judgments rely on this decision, according to BharatTax’s citation analysis of 366,339 Indian tax judgments — from 2015 to 2025.
