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. 55/82 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 03/07/2026 03:45:31 pm ) 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 56/82 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 03/07/2026 03:45:31 pm ) 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.” 57/82 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 03/07/2026 03:45:31 pm ) 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 58/82 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 03/07/2026 03:45:31 pm ) 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. 20.04.2026 raja Neutral Citation : Yes / No W.P.No.11340 of 2023 To 1.
