Can High Court give directive for something not brought up in court ?

Appeal filed by the revenue under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (the Act) is directed against the order of ITAT. Here the HC has given direction to allow assessee to file under Vivad Se Vishwas scheme but the ITAT went only for condonation of delay for limitation period which was allowed by HC. Is it beyond HC's jurisdiction to give directive to assessee to go for VSV scheme ? The main question is does the HC have power under 260A to direct on issue not brought up in court ? https://taxguru.in/income-tax/hc-allows-assessee-avail-vivad-se-vishwas-scheme-benefit-due-date-considering-delay-filing-appeal-revenue.html
