| Decision |
The court held that the statement given by 'A', a director of company 'F', had evidentiary value and warranted consideration by the assessing authorities. The evidence indicated that 'A' engaged in providing accommodation book entries to various beneficiaries, including the petitioner, OnEup Shares & Stock Brokers P. Ltd. The court concluded that the transfer of the petitioner's assessment to New Delhi was justified based on the incriminating nature of 'A's statement. Consequently, the writ petition was rejected, affirming the decision to centralize the cases under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. |
