The Supreme Court has deferred the hearing of the case involving IT assessment of the Gandhis till December 13. The court clarified that it has not examined the controversy between the parties on merits yet. It emphasized that the jurisdiction of the Central Circle is not confined only to search cases, and no assessee has any fundamental or vested legal right to be assessed by a faceless assessing officer. The Gandhis have opposed the transfer of their cases to the Central Circle, raising several grounds. One of the key arguments put forth was that they have no connection with the cases related to the Sanjay Bhandari group. Further details can be found in the linked article.
