4. Asharafi Devi (d) Thr. Lrs. v. State of U. P. Through Collector / District Magistrate
Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 – The original appellant (writ petitioner) never challenged the legality and correctness of the main order dated 14.03.2008 passed in the writ petition (10557/2002) but confined her challenge only to the order dated 16.12.2008 passed in the review application. The original appellant did not assign any reason as to what prevented her in the last almost 11 years in not filing the SLP against the main order. No good ground to invoke extraordinary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution and permit the appellants (legal representatives of original appellant) to question the legality of main order.
4. Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions) Kolkata v. Jagannath Gupta Family Trust
The Income Tax Act, 1961 – Section 12AA – Registered Trust – Bogus Donations.
The High Court has allowed the Writ Petition mainly on one ground, namely, that one bogus donation would not establish that the activities of the trust are not genuine. Such a reason assigned by the High Court is erroneous and runs contrary to the plain language of Section 12AA(3) of the Act.

5. All India Institute of Medical Sciences vs. Sanjiv Chaturvedi
CAT Chairman Cannot Stay Pending Proceedings Before A Larger Bench. Court observed:
“The Chairman was of the considered opinion that there was urgency in the application for vacating the interim order, the Chairman ought to have assigned the application for vacating and/or vacation of the interim order to a Bench of two or more Members to consider whether the interim order should continue or be vacated. The Chairman could also have exercised his power to suo motu transfer the proceedings to another Bench without prior notice. The order of stay of the proceedings before the Nainital Bench is without jurisdiction and unsustainable in law.”
