Congress Plea To Stay I-T Department Action Against Its Bank Accounts Rejected – News18

In a major setback to the Congress party ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) on Friday rejected the party’s plea against the Income Tax Department’s action against its bank accounts.

Senior Advocate Vivek Tankha, representing Congress, had requested a 10-day suspension of the order to allow the Indian National Congress (INC) to approach the High Court. The bench, however, turned down the request, stating that no such provision or plea had been presented to them.

Sources informed that Congress intends to challenge the tax tribunal’s decision by moving to the High Court.
