5. Expert Comments

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

A litigation threshold explains closure, not the tax merits

The stated tax effect below Rs.2 crore is the reason counsel gave for withdrawing these High Court appeals. The order does not determine the original assessment issues or independently endorse the reasoning under challenge. It is therefore evidence of procedural closure, not a new substantive precedent.

Retain all eight docket numbers

ITA Nos.2 through 9 of 2017 are expressly disposed of together. A single common order must not erase those proceedings, and eight dockets do not by themselves prove eight different assessment years. The source supplies neither their year allocation nor individual tax-effect calculations.

Interim directions were expressly vacated

The disposal also ends any interim directions in these appeals. Their content is not reproduced, so their earlier effect must be checked separately. The quoted circular table records the policy cited at disposal; it does not establish present thresholds or universal treatment of exceptions.
