Q: What is the leading case on Section 141 of the Income Tax Act?

Kunhayammed and Others v. State of Kerala and Another (6 SCC 359) is the decision most relied on for Section 141, cited in 147 judgments. Filing an appeal or special leave petition before a higher court, including the Supreme Court, does not automatically stay the operation of the lower court's judgment.
