Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, LUCKNOW “SMC” BENCH, LUCKNOW
Before: SHRI SANJAY ARORA
Per Sanjay Arora, AM: This is an Appeal by the Revenue agitating the Order by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-1, Kanpur (‘CIT(A)’ for short) dated 30.11.2018, allowing the assessee’s appeal contesting his assessment under section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (‘the Act’ hereinafter) for assessment year (AY) 2014- 15 vide order dated 28.12.2016. 2. None appeared for and on behalf of the assessee-respondent when its’ appeal was called out for hearing. The learned counsel for the assessee, however, has, vide his application dated 13.11.2021, clarified that the assessee does not intend to prosecute his instant appeal, and has opted for settlement of its’ tax dispute with the Department under the Direct Tax Vivad se Vishwas Act, 2020 (DTVsV Act), and, consequently, seeks to withdraw its’ appeal. Certificate in Form-5 dated 28.9.2021, issued by the designated authority under the Act on the 2 ITO vs. PawanAgarwal (AY 2014-15) conclusion of the proceedings there-under, signifying the settlement of the tax dispute under reference, is also enclosed along with.
In view of the foregoing, it is apparent that the assessee’s captioned appeal does not survive for adjudication by the Tribunal; the DTVsV Act itself providing for a vacation of the appeal before the appellate forum. I accordingly have no hesitation in, acceding to the assessee-appellants’ request, to which the ld. Sr. DR also did not raise any objection, permit the withdrawal of the said appeal. The assessee’s appeal, therefore, is dismissed as withdrawn/not maintainable. I decide accordingly.
In the result, the Revenue’s appeal is dismissed in the above terms.
