ORDER PER RAVISH SOOD, J.M: The present appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the order passed by the CIT(A)-2, Thane, which in turn arises from the assessment order passed by the A.O under Sec. 143(3) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, dated 26.12.2016 for assessment year 2014-15.

The assessee has filed a letter dated 16th February, 2021, wherein it is stated that he seeks to file an application under the Direct Tax Vivad se Vishwas Act, 2020 in order to settle the aforesaid matter pending before the Tribunal. At the time of hearing, it was submitted by the ld.

It is stated by the assessee that in the backdrop of the aforesaid facts the captioned appeal may be allowed to be withdrawn.

The ld. D.R did not controvert the aforesaid factual position as was canvassed before us.

In view of the above, we dismiss the appeal as withdrawn, subject to a rider that in the unlikely event of the matter not being resolved under the Vivad se Vishwas scheme the assessee shall have liberty to approach the Tribunal for restoration of its appeal.
