The Kerala High Court just gave actor Jayasurya some relief by overturning the dismissal of his tax appeal.
The judge made it clear that skipping a hearing isn't enough reason to throw out someone's case: written reasons are a must, as per the Income Tax Act.
The court also pointed out how important it is to actually review appeals properly and stick to the rules.
