Delhi High Court in an important case namely Virgin Mobile India (P.) Ltd. v. Assistant Commissioner of  Income tax has held that while disposing off the stay application of an assessee the assesseing officer must apply his mind and should dispose not outrightly reject the stay application without reasons.

It is generally seen that stay applications are rejected by assessing officers in a mechanical manner. Even  no reasons are given while disposing off the stay applications.
