HARIRAM GARG & ORS (HUF),KOLKATA vs. D.C.I.T.-CC-2(4), KOLKATA

In this case, the ld. Authorized Representative of the assessee-HUF has moved an application seeking the permission of the Bench to withdraw this appeal subject to issue of Form No. 5 by the Designated Authority under the Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020 and pleaded that the assessee has resolved the issue in dispute with the Revenue under Vivad Se Viswas Scheme. For buttressing this plea, the assessee has filed copies of Declaration in Form Nos. 1, 2, & 4 under the Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 1

2020 as well as Form No. 3 issued by the Competent Authority and Form No. 5 which is pending for issuing by the Designated Authority under the Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020, which are being placed on record.

Ld. D.R. has raised no objection if the instant appeal is dismissed as withdrawn by the assessee.

We have perused the relevant material placed before us. We find that the assessee has opted for Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020 to resolve the dispute with the Revenue.

Keeping in view these facts and circumstances of the case including especially the fact that the assessee has duly complied with the necessary requirements under Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020, the permission as sought by the ld. Authorized Representative of the assessee-HUF is granted and the appeal of the assessee is dismissed as withdrawn.

In the result, the appeal of the assessee is dismissed as withdrawn. Order pronounced in the open Court on September 08, 2022.
