Tax disputes

Reported in the filing for the quarter to Jun 2026.

  • Tax disputePhonographic Performance Limited (PPL)Since 22 Dec 2010
    The company filed a Letters Patent Appeal. (LPA) against the order of Ld. Single Judge dtd. 31.07.2024 passed in contempt proceedings, before the Division Bench of Hon'ble Madras High Court. The LPA came up for hearing on 29.08.2024 wherein the court granted interim stay on the operation of order of Ld. Single Judge and directed the matter be listed for hearing. Interim stay was further extended on 05.09.2024 till next date of hearing. We appeared before the Hon’ble Court with the Memo and the order dated 10.12.2025 passed in the connected proceedings wherein the contempt proceedings were ditached from other parties. The single bench took matter on 18.12.2025 wherein the Counsel appearing for PPL further submitted that steps would be initiated for execution of the order dated 27.04.2023. He also submitted that the contempt proceedings filed by PPL has also been closed vide order dated 10.12.2025. Thus accordingly, the contempt proceedings against DBCL were also closed. Next date of hearing before Division Bench is awaited. No new date of listing has provided so far as an appeal related to a similar matter is pending in Supreme Court, outcome of which may result in some movement in this case. The Interim stay continues. The Supreme Court hearing was scheduled for 27-11-2025 but the matter could not reach the board and next date would be assigned. Now the next date of hearing is awaited for final arguments.MoreLess
