The assessee filed its return of income dated 31.08.2011 for the impugned year declaring total income at Nil. The assessee’s case was selected for scrutiny and the assessment order dated 21.03.2014 was passed by the Ld.

We have heard the rival submissions and perused the materials available on record. It is observed that the assessee company is undergoing liquidation proceedings before the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). This fact has not been controverted by the Ld. Representatives. We deem it fit to dismiss this appeal with the liberty given to the revenue to restore the appeal after the completion of moratorium period in accordance with the provisions of section 14 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Code of 2016.
