4. In all these cases, the respective petitioners have secured an interim
order only on the ground that the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer has no
jurisdiction under Section 148A of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The challenges
are primarily based on the decision of the Division Bench of the Bombay
High Court in Hexaware Technologies Limited v. Assistant Commissioner
of Income Tax [(2024) 464 ITR 430].
5. When these writ petitions were taken up for hearing, the decision of
the Bombay High Court in Hexaware Technologies Limited v. Assistant
Commissioner of Income Tax [(2024) 464 ITR 430], had been challenged
before the Hon’ble Supreme Court at the behest of the Income Tax
Department. During the interregnum, Section 147A was inserted by the
Finance Act, 2026, which came into force on 01.04.2026 with retrospective
effect from 01.04.2021.

W.P.Nos.11340, 18084, 26691 of 2023 etc
6. This Court has already examined the issue independently and had
come to the conclusion in Ontivillu Gopidoss Jothilakshmi vs The Income
Tax Officer and Another [W.P.(MD).No.13626 of 2024, dated 24.01.2025]
holding that the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer had jurisdiction. There also,
the challenge to the proceedings was made based on the decision of the
Bombay High Court in Hexaware Technologies Limited v. Assistant
Commissioner of Income Tax [(2024) 464 ITR 430].
7. After Section 147A was inserted by the Finance Act, 2026, with
retrospective effect from 01.04.2021, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has
rendered a decision in Income Tax Officer and Others vs Tej Partap Singh
[Diary No.2196/2026, dated 10.04.2026]. On the date when the Hon’ble
Supreme Court passed this order, the printed copy of this order was not
available. Subsequently, the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court was made
available. Relevant portions of the said order are extracted below:
“22. Since the High Courts have primarily quashed the
reassessment notices on the ground that the JAOs lacked
competence to initiate such proceedings, and the very
foundation of that view now stands altered by the amending
legislation, the impugned judgments in favor of the assessees
are set aside on this limited ground. The matters are
accordingly remitted to the respective High Courts for fresh
consideration. Ordered accordingly.
23. The assessees are granted liberty to amend their writ

W.P.Nos.11340, 18084, 26691 of 2023 etc
petitions, if so advised, within a period of four (4) weeks from
the date of uploading of this order, so as to enable them to lay
challenge to Section 147A of the IT Act, as introduced by Act
No. 4 of 2026, or to any other connected or consequential
provision.
24. Similarly, the Appellant-Revenue shall be at liberty to
file their written submissions and affidavits before the
jurisdictional High Courts within a period of three (3) weeks
thereafter.
25. No additional time shall be granted to the parties
beyond what has been granted above.
26. We make it clear that we have not expressed any
opinion on the merits of the controversy, including the validity,
scope, effect, retrospectivity or applicability of the amended
provisions, and all such questions are left open to be decided by
the High Courts.
27. Finally, during the pendency of the writ petitions
before the High Courts, there shall be an interim stay of further
assessment/reassessment proceedings pursuant to the impugned
notices, subject to such terms and conditions as may be
imposed by the High Courts.
28. The High Courts are requested to decide the matters
preferably by 30.09.2026. Learned counsel for the parties
undertake to extend full cooperation to the High Courts in this
regard. No adjournments may be granted by the High Courts
on mere asking of the parties.
29. The Registry shall forthwith transmit a copy of this
order to the Registrars General of the concerned High Courts.
30. The appeals are, accordingly, disposed of.
31. All pending applications, including intervention
application(s), shall also stand disposed of.”

W.P.Nos.11340, 18084, 26691 of 2023 etc
8. It is evident that the Judgments of the High Courts, which were in
favour of the assessees, were set aside, and cases were remitted back for fresh
consideration.
9. Since the assessees have a right to challenge the vires of the
insertion of Section 147A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, vide the Finance Act,
2026, dated 01.04.2026, with retrospective effect from 01.04.2021, the
Hon’ble Supreme Court has given liberty to the assessee to challenge the
amendments.
10. As far as the system that is followed by this Court, insofar as the
challenge to the vires of the provisions are concerned, Rule 17(1)(iii) of the
Madras High Court Writ Rules,2021, governs it. As per the said Rule, a
challenge can be made, in these circumstances, only before the Division
Bench.
11. On merits, the issue is squarely covered against the petitioner in
Ontivillu Gopidoss Jothilakshmi vs The Income Tax Officer and Another
[W.P.(MD).No.13626 of 2024, dated 24.01.2025], which position also now
stands clarified by the Parliament with the insertion of Section 147A, with

W.P.Nos.11340, 18084, 26691 of 2023 etc
retrospective effect from 01.04.2021. I am therefore inclined to dismiss these
writ petitions. However, the recovery proceedings shall be kept in abeyance
for a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, for the
respective petitioners to seek appropriate relief from the Division Bench
either against the orders passed herein or to stay the operation of Section
147A, by challenging the same, as ordered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in
Income Tax Officer and Others vs Tej Partap Singh [Diary No.2196/2026,
dated 10.04.2026].
12. With the above observations, these writ petitions are dismissed. No
costs. Connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
