u/s.12AB(1)(b) and 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 both dated 16.03.2026. 2. Since the identical facts and common issues are involved in both these appeals of the Assessee, we proceed to dispose of the same by this common order. For the sake of convenience and clarity, the facts relevant to the appeal of the Assessee in ITA No.3401/CHNY/2026 are stated herein.
The Assessee raised the following grounds of appeal :
“1. The Impugned order is unjust, unreasonable and bad in law.
The Ld. Commissioner(Exemption) erred in rejecting the application filed by not considering the totality of facts and by not taking a holistic view of the instant case with the materials available on record.
Without prejudice, the Ld.Commissioner(Exemption) erred in not providing sufficient opportunity of hearing to the Appellant to explain their position, causing prejudice.”
At the outset of hearing, the Learned Counsel for the appellant-trust submitted a letter dated 25.08.2026, seeking permission to withdraw the appeal since the appellant –trust had ELLORUKKUM KALVI FOUNDATION [A]
been granted the registration u/s.12AB in Form NO.10AC dated 07.04.2022 and approval u/s.80G in Form No.10AC dated 15.11.2022 for both the assessment years 2022-23 to 2026-27. He prayed that the appeals may be treated as withdrawn.
