AKHB editorial analysis, distinct from the Court’s findings. Subsequent treatment and current-law applicability have not been verified.

Dismissal for default does not determine the initiating action

Rekha Devi’s application 2294/2022 was dismissed after non-appearance in the revised list. Although the caption describes a Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax / Initiating Officer, the short order does not identify the enactment, alleged offence or subject of the initiating action. No tax or benami merits conclusion can safely be reconstructed from the title.

Preserve the separate record and the citation anomaly

This application and Dinesh Kumar Verma’s 2378/2022 print the same neutral citation but have different parties and dockets. Retaining both with that disclosure avoids losing a distinct case through citation-based deduplication. The source does not decide restoration, and no subsequent procedural outcome is represented here.
