The learned counsels for the assessees further submitted that the appeal filed by the assessee may be dismissed with a liberty to reinstate the appeal, in case, for any reason, the application filed by the assessee under Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2024 is rejected by the competent authority.
The Ld.DR present for the revenue did not raise any objection for withdrawal of the appeals filed by the assessees.
We have heard both the parties and considered the relevant applications filed by the assessees for withdrawal of the appeals. We find that the assessees have filed applications under Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2024 and the competent authority has issued Form 2 and determined the total tax payable under the Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2024. Since the assessees have settled the disputes under the Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2024 and also filed letters for withdrawal of the appeals, we dismiss the appeals filed by the assessee as withdrawn. We have also given liberty to the assessees to file an application for reinstatement of appeal, in case for any reason, the application filed by the assessee under Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2024 is rejected.
