The Ld. DR conceded to the request of the assessees and their Counsels.

Having heard both the parties through video conference, We are inclined to allow the appeals of the assessees to be withdrawn yielding to the prayer of the Ld.

The Ld. DR has also conceded to the request of the Ld. ARs. Accordingly, We hereby dismiss the appeals of the assessees as withdrawn. However, we also make it clear that, if any of the assessee’s cases are not accepted in the Vivad-Se-Viswas scheme by the Revenue for whatsoever may be the reason, then the respective assessees shall be at liberty to file Miscellaneous Petitions before the Tribunal within the time limit prescribed under the Act to reinstate their appeal. It is ordered accordingly.
