Section 143(1)(a) IT Act | Summary Adjustments Cannot Disallow Debatable Issues Pending Judicial Resolution : Chhattisgarh HC

Chhattisgarh High Court rules that prima facie adjustments under Section 143(1)(a) of the Income Tax Act cannot resolve legally debatable issues, particularly when the matter is pending judicial resolution. The court set aside a disallowance of ₹4.64 lakh under Section 36(1)(va), emphasizing that summary proceedings cannot override substantive legal disputes.
