This appeal by the assessee is directed against the order dated 15.02.2019 of ld. CIT (A), Ajmer for the assessment year 2013-14. Due to prevailing COVId-19 pandemic condition the hearing of the appeals are concluded through video conference. 2. At the time of hearing, the ld. AR has stated at bar that the assessee has already applied for settlement of dispute under “Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme-2020” however, the approval of the competent Shri Gyanesh Sharma HUF vs. ITO authority of the Department on the application filed under “Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme-2020” is awaited. The ld. AR has thus submitted that the assessee will withdraw the present appeal once the application is approved by the competent authority. The ld. DR has not disputed that the assessee has applied under “Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme-2020”.
2.1 Accordingly, in view of the above facts that the assessee has already opted to settle the dispute and tax liability under “Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme-2020” the appeal of the assessee becomes infructuous. Hence, the appeal of the assessee is dismissed as not maintainable. We may clarify that in case the application of the assessee filed under “Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme-2020” is not approved or rejected by the competent authority, the assessee shall have liberty to get the present appeal revived by filing Miscellaneous application.
In the result, the appeal of the assessee is dismissed.
