M/S HUM INDIA FAB PRIVATE LIMITED ,BANGALORE vs. INCOME TAX OFFICER WARD-3(1)(3), BANGALORE

The assessee has filed this appeal challenging the order dated 15.03.2018 passed by Ld CIT(A)-3, Bengaluru and it relates to the assessment year 2013-14.

None appeared on behalf of the assessee. However, the Ld A.R of the assessee named M/s Dagliya & Co., Chartered Accountants has filed a letter stating that the assessee has opted to settle the dispute in its appeal under Direct Taxes Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020. It is further stated that the assessee has filed Form No.1 & 2 for the Hum India Fab P. Ltd., Bangalore Page 2 of 2 appeal filed by the assessee. Accordingly it was prayed that appeal of the assessee may be adjourned.

The Ld D.R, however, submitted that the Bangalore bench of Tribunal is dismissing the appeal in such kind of cases giving liberty to the assessee to seek recall, if something goes wrong with the application filed by the assessee.

We heard Ld D.R and perused the record. Since the assessee has opted to settle the issues contested in the 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 Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal of the assessee as withdrawn.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.
