    right decision by hon court,

    A judicial order can be passed by a judicial court only and not by any department of any government even if legislature confers such powers . therefore it shd be clear no authority other than judicial court under direct supervision of a high court only can pass orders u/s 271(1)(c) of income tax Act 1961.

    Else such extra judicial functions by AOs would get struck down,

    We follow Westminister system of laws, Dixon CJ in 34 Reg v Davison (1984) 935 CLR at 368-370 observed ..’ Truth is Judicial power is that ascertainment of existing judicial power so that parliament cannot confide the functions to any person or body but to a court constituted as determined by constitution as conceived; so in fact no department can create an order which takes effect as an executive exercise of judicial power . this position can be very clear if one examines Madras Bar Association v NTT that a 5 member SC bench simply struck down very NTT Act… to know full judgement please read the judgement that might educate meaningfully…My submission is AOs should desist using irrationally the sec 271(1)(c) in his own interest, else he runs the risk of paying damages to taxpayers sooner or later. thanks
