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 08.10.2021, clarified that the assessee does not intend to prosecute it’s instant appeal, and has opted for settlement of its’ tax dispute with the Department under the Direct Tax Vivadse Vishwas Act, 2020 (DTVsV Act), and, consequently, seeks to withdraw its’ appeal. Certificate in Form-5 dated 1.4.2021, issued by the designated authority under the Act on the 2 ShriNath Propertiesvs Asst. CIT (AY 2011-12) conclusion of the proceedings there-under, signifying the settlement of the tax dispute under reference, is also enclosed alongwith.
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 The assessee’s appeal, therefore, is dismissed as withdrawn/not maintainable.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 assessee’sappeal is dismissed in the above terms.
