What did the High Court hold?

The High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh dismissed the appeal as withdrawn. The revenue, represented by its counsel, informed the Court that it had instructions to withdraw the appeal due to the tax effect being below the prescribed monetary limits as per the relevant CBDT Circulars and a subsequent letter. The revenue specifically prayed for liberty to file an application for revival of the appeal if circumstances warranted it. The Court granted this liberty. The operative direction was to dismiss the appeal as withdrawn with the liberty granted. Any pending Civil Miscellaneous (C.M.) Application was also disposed of as a consequence of the main appeal being dismissed.

What were the facts?

The appeal was filed by the Commissioner of Income Tax-III, Ludhiana (appellant-revenue) against M/s. Vee Kay Concast (P) Limited, Ludhiana (respondent-assessee). The assessment year(s) are not explicitly stated in the provided text. The appeal challenges an order passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), though the specific order or action is not detailed. The procedural history is limited to the filing of the present appeal before the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh.

What were the issues?

1. Whether the appeal filed by the revenue should be withdrawn based on the monetary limits prescribed in CBDT Circulars. The appellant-revenue, through its counsel, stated that the tax effect involved in the appeal is below the monetary limit prescribed by Circular No. 3 of 2018 dated 11.07.2018, as amended by Circular No. 17 of 2019 dated 08.08.2019, read with Letter No. F.No.279/Misc/M-93/2018-ITJ dated 20.08.2019.
