Commissioner of Income Tax-III vs. Sri P.V.Ramana Reddy
What did the High Court hold?
The High Court allowed the Revenue's request to withdraw the appeal. The Court noted that the learned counsel for the appellant sought leave to withdraw the appeal in light of Circular No. 09/2024 dated 17.09.2024, with the liberty to revive it if the subject matter of the appeal falls under any exceptions in Circular No. 5/2024 dated 15.03.2024. Accordingly, the appeal was dismissed as withdrawn in terms of the liberty prayed for. Miscellaneous applications, if any, were also ordered to stand closed. No order as to costs was made.
What were the facts?
This case involves an appeal filed by the Commissioner of Income Tax-III, Hyderabad (the Revenue) against an order dated 06.01.2012 passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), Bench-B, Hyderabad. The ITAT's order was in relation to Income Tax Appeal No. 18551/Hyd/2011 for the Assessment Year 2002-03. This appeal before the High Court was preferred against the order dated 22.09.2011 passed by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) - IV, Hyderabad, which in turn was against the Assessment Order dated 28.12.2006 passed by the Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax, Central Circle -5, Hyderabad. The respondent in the appeal is Sri P.V. Ramana Reddy.
What were the issues?
The primary issue before the High Court was whether to allow the Revenue's appeal. The Revenue, through its counsel, sought leave to withdraw the appeal. This request was made in light of Circular No. 09/2024 dated 17.09.2024. The Revenue also sought liberty to revive the appeal if the subject matter fell within the exceptions provided in Circular No. 5/2024 dated 15.03.2024. The respondent did not appear to have raised any specific arguments as the appeal was sought to be withdrawn by the appellant.
