Per D.S.Sunder Singh, Accountant Member :
This appeal is filed by the revenue against the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) [CIT(A)]-3, Visakhapatnam in Appeal No.135/2019-20/CIT(A)-3/VSP/2019-20 dated 23.08.2019 for the Assessment Year (A.Y.) 2017-18.
When this appeal is taken up for hearing, the Ld.DR has filed a letter stating that the department preferred an application u/sec. 4(2) of Vivad Se
M/s Deccan Tobacco Company, Guntur Vishwas Act, 2020 and the Principal Commissioner (Central), Visakhapatnam was pleased to issue a Certificate in Form No.3 on 27.08.2020. The Ld.DR further stated that once Form No.3 is issued by the Pr. Commissioner, the appeal shall be deemed to have been withdrawn from the date on which Form No.3 is filed, however, he submitted that appeal may be recalled in case the certificate issued by the Pr. Commissioner is withdrawn at a future date due to any unforeseen contingencies.
Ld.AR has not raised any objection.
We have heard both the sides and gone through the Form No.3 and also gone through the withdrawal petition filed by the department. We find that in this case Form No.3 is issued by the Pr.Commissioner and the Ld.DR has submitted that he may be permitted to withdraw the appeal. We, therefore, dismiss the appeal as withdrawn, however, with a rider that in any case the certificate issued by the Pr.Commissioner is withdrawn at a future date for any reason, it is open to the department to file an appropriate application before the Tribunal. In that event, the order passed by the Tribunal would be recalled in accordance with law.
M/s Deccan Tobacco Company, Guntur
In the result, appeal filed by the revenue is dismissed as withdrawn. Order pronounced in the open court on 1st February, 2021.
