Decision |
The Appellate Tribunal ruled that an order passed by a court or tribunal must be implemented unless reversed or suspended. The case concerned the interpretation of sections 124 and 226 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, focusing on the obligation of the Commissioner to comply with an order that had attained finality. The tribunal found that the Commissioner cannot delay implementation by filing a rectification application. The decision emphasized that the Commissioner must issue an appeal effect order within two months, following the finalization of the order by the Commissioner (Appeals). The court allowed the petition and directed the Commissioner to comply with the provisions of the Ordinance. |
Summary |
This case revolves around the application of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, particularly sections 124 and 226, in the context of tax assessments and the obligations of the Commissioner.

The findings underscore the importance of timely compliance with judicial decisions in tax matters, reinforcing the principle that final orders must be executed unless legally challenged. This ruling is significant for taxpayers and tax authorities alike, as it clarifies the procedural requirements for implementing tax-related decisions, ensuring that taxpayers' rights are protected while maintaining the integrity of the tax system. The court's decision also highlights the critical nature of adhering to statutory timelines in tax proceedings, which can impact the rights and obligations of the parties involved. |
