applications. 3. Accordingly, the prayers made therein are allowed. 4. The applications are disposed of in the aforesaid terms. ITA 250/2023 5. This appeal concerns Assessment Year (AY) 2014-2015. 6. The appellant/revenue seeks to assail the order dated 27.09.2021 passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal [in short, “Tribunal”]. The only grievance of the appellant/revenue concerns the deletion of disallowance sustained by the Tribunal. The amount involved is Rs.3,12,87,693/-. According to the Tribunal, the respondent/assessee has not made any claim qua exempt income, and therefore, disallowance under Section 14A of the Act was not sustainable. 7. There is no dispute, that this issue is covered by a judgment of the coordinate bench of this Court dated 02.09.2015 passed in ITA 749/2014 titled Cheminvest Limited v. Commissioner of Income Tax-VI and the judgment passed in Commissioner of Income-tax, Central 1, Chennai v. Chettinad Logistics (P.) Ltd. [2017] 80 taxmann.com 221 (Madras). 8. To be noted, one of us i.e., Rajiv Shakdher, J., was part of the bench in Commissioner of Income-tax, Central 1, Chennai v. Chettinad Logistics (P.) Ltd. 9. Counsel for the appellant/revenue does not dispute the fact that special leave petition preferred against the said judgment was dismissed by the Supreme Court via order dated 02.07.2018 which is reported as [2018] 95 taxmann.com 250 (SC). 9.1 The order of the Supreme Court reads as follows: Signed By:VIPIN KUMAR RAI Signing Date:31.05.2023 13:14:02 Signature Not Verified
ITA 250/2023 Page 3 of 3
“1. The Special Leave petition is dismissed on the ground of delay as well as on merits.”
In these circumstances, no substantial question of law arises for our consideration. 11. It is, however, brought to our notice by counsel for the appellant/revenue that against other judgments, special leave petitions have been filed, which are pending adjudication by the Supreme Court. This fact is placed on record. 12. The appeal is, accordingly, closed.
