PER AMARJIT SINGH, JM:

1.

This is an appeal filed by the assessee against the order dated 18.08.2016 passed by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), 42 Mumbai [hereinafter referred to as the “CIT(A)”]. Relevant to the A.Y.2012-13.

2.

We have heard the arguments advanced by the Ld. Representative of the Department and has gone through the case carefully. When this appeal was called out for hearing, the ld. Counsel of the assessee submitted that he has filed the necessary declaration under Direct Tax Vivad se Vishwas Act, 2020 (Act 3 of 2020) and is awaiting for final resolution of the matter under the said scheme. He submitted that upon completion of the necessary formalities, he will withdraw the appeal. In response to the suggestion from the Bench, he fairly accepted that he has no objection to the appeal being A.Y.2012-13 dismissed as withdrawn as long as his right for revival of the appeal is protected, in the event of, for some unfortunate reason, the matter being not settled under the Vivad se Vishwas scheme.

3.

The Ld. DR has no objection to the above.

4.

In view of the above, we dismiss the appeal as withdrawn, subject to be rider that in the unlikely event of matter not being resolved under the Vivad se Vishwas scheme, the assessee shall have liberty to approach the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