Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, AHMEDABAD – BENCH ‘B’
Before: SHRI AMARJIT SINGH
PER MADHUMITA ROY- JM: The instant appeal filed by the Revenue against the order dated 25.07.2017 passed by the CIT(A)-9, Ahmedabad u/s. 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act 1961 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Act’) for assessment year 2011-12.
The assessee initially filed its return of income on 30.09.2011 showing deficit of Rs. 1241,42,01,337/- which was finalized u/s. 143(3) of the Act on 16.01.2014 determining total income of Rs. 627,67,58,990/-. The Ld. AO also initiated penalty proceedings u/s. 271(1)(c) of the Act.
By and under an order dated 28.03.2016 the DCIT (Exemptions) Circle-1, Ahmedabad imposed a lump sum penalty of Rs. 9,96,210,794/- u/s. 271(1)(c) of the Act. In appeal the same was deleted by the order impugned relying upon the order
ITA No. 2161/Ahd/2017 A.Y. 2011-12 2
passed by the Hon’ble Tribunal dated. 10.01.2017 in quantum appeal copy whereof was handed over to as at the time of hearing by the Ld. AR.
The Ld. Counsel appearing for the assessee submitted before us that since the quantum appeal has been deleted by the Hon’ble Tribunal the penalty levied by the AO is not sustainable and hence he relied upon the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A)
Having heard the Ld. Counsel appearing for the parties, having heard to the facts and circumstances of the case we find that since the quantum appeal has been deleted by the Hon’ble Tribunal the appeal preferred by the assessee against the order of penalty has been rightly allowed by the Ld. CIT(A). In fact the appeal preferred before us by Revenue become infructuous.
Hence the appeal is dismissed as infructuous. 5.
