At the time of hearing, the learned counsel for the assessee inviting our attention to the letter dated 17.08.2021 submitted that the assessee wanted to utilize the Direct Taxes ‘ Vivas se Vishwas Scheme, 2020’ to settle pending dispute relating to Direct Taxes and in this regard the assessee has filed Form No. 1 and Form 2 and obtained Form 3 from the designated authority. Therefore, the appeal may be permitted to be withdrawn. We heard the Ld. DR also.
