The Delhi High Court had earlier this week dismissed the party's plea, challenging Income Tax Department's order opening of reassessment proceedings against it for 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, and 2020-21.
The Delhi High Court delivered a decision that rejected the Indian National Congress Party's (INC) appeal against the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal's (Tribunal) decision to dismiss their application to halt the Income Tax Department's recovery proceedings for Rs 135 crores (comprising interest accrued).

The Income Tax Department said that they acted with responsibility and their action was fully in line with the law to recover Rs 65 crore from the bank accounts of Congress party
