5. Expert Comments

AKHB editorial analysis, distinct from the Court’s findings.

The precise liberty controls the procedural result

The Court expressly permits an appeal after withdrawal. It does not itself register that appeal, identify the challenged order or decide the appellate grounds. The taxpayer must still take the appellate step rather than treating this disposal as appellate relief.

No timing or enforcement concession is recorded

The order sets no filing period, grants no condonation and gives no interim protection against collection. Its liberty must be read as stated; the source does not resolve any separate requirements that may govern the proposed proceeding.

Preserve this proceeding’s identity

This is W.P.(T)6819/2025 decided on 15 December 2025, with express liberty to appeal. The later Harjeet Singh order in W.P.(T)7443/2025 uses the broader phrase appropriate authority; its different wording and docket must not replace this order.
