Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, “B’’ BENCH: BANGALORE
Before: SHRI N.V. VASUDEVAN & SHRI CHANDRA POOJARI
PER CHANDRA POOJARI, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER:
This appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the order of CIT(A)-2, Bengaluru dated 22.4.2019 for the assessment year 2014-15.
At the time of hearing, the Ld A.R submitted that the assessee has filed application under the Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020 and is waiting for the certificate in Form No.3 from the Pr. CIT. Accordingly the Ld A.R submitted that the matter may be kept pending.

Thereafter, the assessee is required to furnish a copy of the same along with the proof of payment of tax as determined by the tax official to the department. He submitted that the 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issued to the assessee in due course and accordingly he submitted that the appeal of the assessee may be dismissed as withdrawn, as the assessee, in any way, is required to withdraw the appeal.
We heard the parties and perused the record. Since the assessee has opted for Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020, the appellant would be moving application for withdrawing the present appeal filed before the Tribunal in due course. Since the assessee has already filed the necessary application before the tax authorities under the above said scheme, 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 Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal of the assessee as withdrawn.
In the result, the appeal of the assessee is dismissed as withdrawn. Order pronounced in the open court on 23rd Nov, 2020
