We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. In our opinion, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed summarily because, a. the petitioner has not produced any document before the Court to substantiate his assertion that he and five others had started chit fund business under the name and style M/s Shripala Finance Corporation; b. the petitioner has not referred to the relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and the Rules under which an application can be made by a stranger for supply of certified copies of the returns; c. the application made by the petitioner in the suits filed by him in the Court of Principal Junior Civil Judge, Warangal and Additional Junior Civil Judge, Warangal for issuance of a direction for summoning the records of the income tax department were dismissed by the concerned Courts and those orders do not appear to have been challenged by the petitioner by availing appropriate legal remedy.
