Supreme Court Dismisses Special Leave Petitions on Stay Extension Issue.

During the proceedings, the respondent's counsel informed the court that the appeal filed by the respondent has already been resolved by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal on 27 May 2016. Since the issue at hand pertains only to the extension of stay by the ITAT under Section 254(2A) (of Income Tax Act, 1961), 1961, the Special Leave Petitions are deemed to be irrelevant and are therefore dismissed. The court clarified that it has not expressed any opinion on the question of law. Any pending applications will be disposed of accordingly.
