OD–7 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA CONSTITUTIONAL WRIT JURISDICTION ORIGINAL SIDE WPO/236/2025 KRITI SECURITIES CONSULTANTS PRIVATE LIMITED VERSUS THE INCOME TAX OFFICER, WARD – 30(1), KOLKATA & ORS. BEFORE : THE HON’BLE JUSTICE RAJA BASU CHOWDHURY Date: 19[th] May, 2025 Appearance :Mr. Pratyush Jhunjhunwala, Adv. Ms. Sretapa Sinha, Adv. Ms. Sruti Datta, Adv. Ms. Sakshi Singhi, Adv. …for the petitioner Mr. Soumen Bhattacharjee, Adv. Mr. Ankan Das, Adv. Ms. Shradhya Ghosh, Adv. ..for the Income Tax Mr. Syamantak Banerjee, Adv. Mr. P. K. Dutt, Adv. Mr. S. K. Dutt, Adv. …for the respondent no.6 The Court :- 1. This matter pertains to the alleged claim made by the petitioner that the petitioner is unable to file its return online for the assessment year 2023-24 as the portal is rejecting the return in ITR-6 due to the PAN. 2. It appears that a series of representations were made, starting from 15[th] March, 2022 and lastly on 13[th] November, 2024. 3. Since the respondents are yet to dispose of the representations, I am of the view that, at this stage, it would be prudent to direct the concerned assessing officer of the petitioner to take a decision in this matter upon giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and by passing a reasoned order as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. 4. In view of the above, the writ petition stands disposed of. 5. Since no affidavit has been called for, the allegations made in the petition are deemed not to have been admitted by the respondents.
