Blow to Gandhis, HC upholds I-T department move

The Delhi HC has dismissed Congress members Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s petitions against the central government’s decision to transfer their tax assessments for 2018-19 relating to fugitive arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari to the central circle of the income tax department. The decision was taken for better coordination and efficiency, and the court mentioned that a faceless assessment is not a right that taxpayers can claim.
