M/S. PATEL RAJESHKUMAR MAGANLAL & CO.,,SURAT vs. THE DCIT CENTRAL CIRCLE-1(2), AHMEDABAD
In favour of the Revenue: the assessee's appeal was dismissed. From the AI summary of this appeal.
What did the Tribunal hold?
The Tribunal considered the submissions of the assessee and noted that the present appeal was indeed filed inadvertently. It was found that the issue raised in the current appeal had already been adjudicated by the Tribunal in ITA(SS) No. 338/AHD/2014, which had remanded the matter to the Assessing Officer for fresh assessment. Therefore, the Tribunal concluded that the present appeal was mistakenly filed, as acknowledged by the assessee in their submission. Consequently, the Tribunal allowed the assessee's request to withdraw the appeal. The appeal was treated as withdrawn and dismissed. No other issues were expressly left undecided.
What were the facts?
The assessee, M/s. Patel Rajeshkumar Maganlal, filed an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), Ahmedabad Bench 'B', against the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-1, Ahmedabad, dated 25.06.2014, for the Assessment Year 2010-11. The appeal was filed with a delay of 2728 days. The assessee submitted that a prior appeal against the same CIT(A) order had already been decided by the ITAT in ITA(SS) No. 338/AHD/2014 dated 19.12.2017, wherein the matter was remanded to the Assessing Officer for fresh assessment. The assessee claimed to be unaware of this prior appeal and its decision, and therefore, the present appeal was filed inadvertently. The assessee requested permission to withdraw the current appeal.
What were the issues?
1. Whether the present appeal, filed with a significant delay, is maintainable given that a prior appeal on the same issue has already been decided by the Tribunal? (Question of law and fact, concerning the procedural history and the assessee's claim of inadvertent filing).

They submitted a written request to withdraw the present appeal. Revenue's contentions: The revenue, represented by the CIT-DR, had no objection to the assessee's request for withdrawal of the appeal.
