We heard the parties. Since the Ld A.R has stated that the assessee has opted to settle the issues contested in this appeal under the Direct Taxes Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2010, no purpose will be served in keeping this appeal pending. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal of the assessee as withdrawn. However, we give liberty to the assessee to seek recall of this order in accordance with law, if the circumstances so warrant.

In the result appeal the assessee is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open court on 17th Feb, 2021
