This appeal at the instance of the assessee is directed against CIT(A)’s order dated 29.06.2018. The relevant assessment year is 2011-2012.
At the time of hearing before us, the learned Counsel for the assessee has furnished a letter dated 03rd January, 2021, wherein it is stated that the assessee has opted for filing the application under Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, for settlement of the dispute, and accordingly, she prayed that the appeal may be adjourned.

He submitted that Form No.3 shall be issued to the assessee in due course and accordingly he submitted that the appeal of the assessee may be dismissed as withdrawn, as the assessee in any case is required to withdraw the appeal. The learned DR further submitted that in these types of cases, the Tribunal is giving liberty to seek recall of the order if the appeal is dismissed by the Bench.
We have heard the rival submissions and perused the material on record. The submissions made by the learned DR is considered. Since the assessee has opted for filing the application under Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act for settlement of the dispute, the assessee would be moving application for withdrawing the present appeal filed before the Tribunal in due course. Hence, we are of the view that no purpose will be served in keeping this appeal pending. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal of the assessee as withdrawn. Since we have dismissed the appeal, the assessee is at liberty to move appropriate application for recall of the present order in accordance with the law, if the assessee intends to do so.
In the result, the appeal filed by the assessee is dismissed, as withdrawn. Order pronounced on this 04th day of January, 2021. Sd/- Sd/- (Chandra Poojari) (George George K) ACCOUNTANT MEMBER JUDICIAL MEMBER Bangalore; Dated : 04th January, 2021. Devadas G*
