HC cannot sit as an Appellate authority Over an Order in Favour of Income Tax Dept passed by a coordinate Bench:

The Orissa High Court ruled that it cannot act as an appellate authority over decisions made by a coordinate bench in favor of the Income Tax Department. This judgment emphasizes that High Courts should not overstep their jurisdiction by re-evaluating the merits of decisions already made by equivalent judicial authorities. This ensures that the legal process remains consistent and that judicial hierarchy and integrity are maintained.
