Back to square one? Bombay HC bench releases Volkswagen tax case 1.5 years after reserving verdict

This was after the bench which heard the matter in 2025 chose to release it without pronouncing a verdict. The bench of Justices BP Colabawalla and Firdosh Pooniwalla had reserved the matter for judgment on April 28, 2025 after extensive hearings over 6 days. They had clarified that their decision will be limited to whether the show-cause notice (SCN) issued by the customs authorities against the automotive company was time-barred. However, the bench indicated today that their judgment is not ready for pronouncement.
