What did the High Court hold?

The High Court held that the Revenue's request to withdraw the appeals was granted. The reasoning was based on the Revenue's submission that the tax effect in all the appeals was below the minimum threshold limit prescribed by the CBDT's circular dated 11.07.2018. This circular provides guidelines for the department regarding the monetary limits for filing and pursuing appeals. Since the appeals did not meet this threshold, the department was permitted to withdraw them. The Court explicitly granted the permission sought by the learned advocate for the department. Consequently, all the listed Tax Appeals were disposed of in terms of this oral order.

What were the facts?

The appeals were filed by the Commissioner of Income Tax-V (Revenue) against Kalyanbhai L Vasa (HUF) (Assessee). A multitude of Tax Appeals, listed from C/TAXAP/217/2010 to C/TAXAP/98/2017, were consolidated for decision. The Revenue sought permission to withdraw these appeals. The reason cited for withdrawal was that the tax effect involved in these appeals was below the minimum threshold limit stipulated by the CBDT in its circular dated 11.07.2018, which governs the department's ability to prefer and maintain appeals before the High Court. The Court granted the permission.

What were the issues?

1. Whether the Revenue is permitted to withdraw the appeals on the ground that the tax effect is below the threshold limit prescribed by the CBDT circular dated 11.07.2018? (Question of law) Assessee's Contentions: The judgment does not record any specific contentions from the assessee. However, the Revenue's submission implies that the assessee would likely not oppose the withdrawal based on the stated grounds. Revenue's Contentions: The Revenue, through its learned advocate, sought permission to withdraw the appeals. The sole ground for withdrawal was that the tax effect in these appeals was below the minimum threshold limit provided by the CBDT in its circular dated 11.07.2018. This circular enables the department to prefer and maintain appeals before the High Court. The Revenue relied on this circular as the basis for its request.
