SHRI RAJEN LALIT MAHESHWARI,,VADODARA vs. THE DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX, (APPEALS-4),, VADODARA

The captioned four appeals arise from the respective orders of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) (‘CIT(A)’) against different assessment years.

The captioned assessees have sought to withdraw the appeals listed above on the ground that they have opted to avail benefits of ‘Vivad se Vishwas Scheme, 2020’ (VSV). When the matter was called for hearing, the ld. counsels for the assessee at the outset have submitted that they do not seek to pursue the said & 3 others - 2 - appeals owing to exercise of option for availing VSV Scheme and consequently requested that their applications for withdrawal of appeals may please be granted. Reference was also made to written requests in this regard.

The ld. Departmental Representative for the Revenue stated that he has no objection to withdraw the appeals in the circumstances narrated on behalf of the assessee.

In the light of oral/written requests made on behalf of the captioned parties, all the appeals are dismissed as withdrawn. However, in the event, the assessee fails to avail the benefit of VSV Scheme for any bonafide reasons, then the assessee concerned will be at liberty to seek restoration of original appeals for hearing before ITAT in accordance with law.

In the result, all captioned appeals are dismissed as withdrawn. This Order pronounced on 27/04/2021
