Thereafter, the ld. PCIT Bangalore- 1 had set aside the assessment order of AO dated 22.12.2022 by holding that the order is erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of the revenue in so far as the AO has passed the order without Sowparnika Retail Private Limited, Bangalore Page 5 of 6 examining the reasons for inadmissible expenses reported u/s 14A of the Act not being disallowed in computation of income and without verification of the reasons for lower deduction of TDS and accordingly directed the AO to pass fresh order after carrying out the necessary verification and examination and enquiring into the claim of disallowance u/s 14A of the Act and verify the reasons for lower deduction of TDS.

Aggrieved by the order dated 24/03/2025 passed u/s 263 of the Act, the assessee has filed the present appeal before this Tribunal.

Before us, at the outset, the ld. A.R. of the assessee vehemently submitted that the consequential assessment order as per the direction of ld. PCIT had already been passed and no addition has been made by the AO. Accordingly, prayed that as the present appeal became academic & hence the appeal may be permitted to be withdrawn. The ld. D.R. also expressed no objection if we permit the assessee to withdraw its appeal. Thus, as per the request of the ld. A.R. of the assessee, we dismiss this appeal as withdrawn.

In the result, appeal of the assessee is dismissed as withdrawn.
