Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, DELHI BENCH ‘SMC’, NEW DELHI
Before: Sh. Satbeer Singh Godara
ORDER These assessee’s twin appeals & 3112/Del/2025, for Assessment Years 2018-19 and 2019-20, arise against the CIT(A)-43, Delhi’s DIN & order No. ITBA/APL/S/250/2024-25/1067887647(1) & 1067888523(1) dated 22.08.2024, in proceedings u/s 154 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (in short “the Act”), respectively.
Heard both the parties at length. Case files perused.
It emerges at the outset during the course of hearing that the learned CIT(A) has already accepted the assessee’s contentions in the lower appellate proceedings thereby allowing the same in his favour. Mr. Raghavan Krishnan claiming himself as the assessee’s father, present in court fairly concedes this & 3118/Del/2025 Sriram Krishnan father’s position. That being the case, the tribunal hereby holds that the assessee’s instant twin appeals are not maintainable as he has already been granted relief in the lower appellate proceedings. Rejected accordingly.
