ANJALI, PATNA vs. PAWAN KUMAR MEHARIA, BHAGALPUR

With the assistance of ld. CIT(DR), we have gone through the grounds raised by the Revenue. It is pertinent to note that the tax effect by virtue of relief given by the first appellate authority is less than Rs.60,00,000/-. As per CBDT Instruction bearing No. 9 of 2024 issued on 17th September, 2024, CBDT has directed its subordinate authorities not to challenge the order of ld. CIT(Appeals) before Tribunal if tax effect by virtue of relief given by the ld. CIT(Appeals) is less than Rs.60,00,000/-. Such order could only be challenged if it comes within exceptions provided in the Instruction. Therefore, these cases do not fall in any of the exceptions and, these appeals are not maintainable.

On due consideration of the above facts and circumstances, we dismiss these appeals of the Revenue for want of tax effect. However, in case on re-verification of the facts at the end of the Assessing Officer, it comes out that tax effect is more or this case falls in any of the exceptions provided in this Instruction. Then Revenue will be at liberty to file Miscellaneous Application for revival of these appeals. Such application should be filed within the time limit provided in the Act. to 254/PAT/2023 Assessment Years: 2015-2016 to 2018-2019 Pawan Kumar Meharia 4. In the result, all the appeals of the Revenue are dismissed. Order pronounced in the open Court on 27.09.2024.
