When the case was called up for physical hearing, the learned counsel representing the assessee [for short “AR”] without going into facts and grounds of appeal

raised in cross objection, at the outset adverting page 2-3 of paper book filed on record entreated that, the appeal of the Revenue falls below the tax effect within the purview of Central Board of Direct Taxes [for short “CBDT”] Circular 17/2019 r.w.

M/s Green Tokri Farms Pvt. Ltd. CO No.38/PUN/2022 PAN : AABCB8381P AY: 2015-16 the appellant submission, however it is prayed that, a liberty should be given to the Revenue to contest the present appeal at any subsequent stage for the reasons stipulated in the foresaid circular by filing a Miscellaneous Application [for short “MA”] before the Tribunal to revive this appeal for an order of recalling.

3. Undisputedly the tax effect in the present appeal filed by the Revenue is below ₹50 Lakhs and mindful to para 13 of the CBDT Circular No. 3/2018 r.w.c. 17/2019, we are inclined to dismiss this appeal due to “LTE”, without going into the merits of the case. While disposing so, we are granting a liberty to the appellant revenue to revive the same by filing MA for recalling of this order at any stage to agitate the matter/issue set forth in the present appeal in accordance with the clauses as are contained in the respective circulars of the CBDT, ergo we order accordingly.
