The case revolves around a dispute concerning the interpretation of Section 66-A of the Income Tax Ordinance, 1979. The Sindh High Court examined the arguments presented by both parties. The petitioners, represented by leading advocates, contended that the tax assessments made by the Commissioner of Income Tax were unjust and did not align with the provisions of the law. The court, after thorough deliberation and consideration of precedents, ruled in favor of the petitioners, stating that the tax assessments lacked sufficient legal basis. This decision underscores the importance of adherence to legal standards in tax assessments and reinforces the rights of corporations under the Income Tax Ordinance. The judgment serves as a significant reference for future income tax cases and highlights the judiciary's role in ensuring justice in tax matters. |
