Delhi High Court on Monday quashed the 2016 income-tax notices to NDTV founders Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy, calling them “arbitrary”, and told the department to pay ₹1 lakh to each as a token cost. The first round of reassessment proceedings was initiated in 2011 and ended in 2013. In the facts of the case though, no judicial precedents or pronouncements are required to quash the impugned proceedings,” the court said. The court disagreed with the IT department that the Roys had failed to disclose true and material facts before the assessing officer. The high court stayed the proceedings before the assessing officer in 2017.
