Where appellant was notified entity under the Special Court (Trial of
offences relating to Transactions in Securities) Act, 1992 and all
properties had been attached, in view of this fact that the Appellant
had requested the Assessing Officer to approach special Court to
release amount of self assessment tax payable and such request had
been made by Assessing Officer, assessee could be said to have made
implied compliance with the provisions of section 249(4). (Divine
Holdings (P) Ltd vs. Dy. CIT (2001) 119 Taxman 27 (Mum) (Mag) (Also
see, Ashwin S. Mehta (HUF) vs. Asst CIT (2002) 75 TTJ (Mum) 960).
Where assessee filed appeal on 2.4.1976 and 4.11.1997 was last date
on which AAC heard appeal by which time assessee had paid entire
tax due, the Delhi High Court in CIT vs. Rama Body Builders (2001)
250 ITR 825 (Del), AAC was not justified in refusing to entertain appeal
on the ground that tax due had not been paid by 2.4.1976, the date on
which the appeal was filed, [also see S. Venkatesh vs. Asst. CIT (2000)
112 Taxman 31 (Chennai) (Mag)].
