I need to provide a summary of the specific case SLP(C) 35457-35626/2012 with Jai Kumar Jain as respondent. Let me search through the document for information about this case. Based on my review of the hearing record, here is the summary: SLP(C) NOS. 35457-35626/2012 - Union of India vs. Jai Kumar Jain and Others Outcome: The Supreme Court DISMISSED all the special leave petitions filed by the Union of India. Case Details: These SLPs challenged a batch of High Court judgments dated 7th August 2009 from the Bombay High Court that dealt with the validity of Sections 245HA(1)(iv) and 245HA(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, as amended by the Finance Act 2007. High Court's Position: The Bombay High Court found these sections to be violative of Article 14 (right to equality) but instead of invalidating the provisions, it read down Section 245HA(1)(iv) to avoid declaring the provisions unconstitutional. Supreme Court's Decision: On 25th March 2015, the Court (Justices A.K. Sikri and Rohinton Fali Nariman) found the High Court's judgment to be "well-considered" and did not find any reason for interference. Accordingly, all special leave petitions and connected appeals were dismissed. No further action was ordered on these matters.
