GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION,MUMBAI vs. ADDL DIT (IT) 3, MUMBAI

These appeals, filed by the assessee as well as revenue, call into question the correctness of the order dated 30.01.2012, passed by the Ld. CIT(A)-15, Mumbai in the matter of assessment u/s.144C(3) r.w.s. 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for the assessment year 2007-08.

When these appeals were 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 his appeal. In response to the suggestion from the Bench, he fairly accepted that he has no objection to the appeal being dismissed as withdrawn as long as his right for revival of the appeal are protected, in the event of, for some unforeseen reason, the matter being not settled under the Vivad se Vishwas scheme. 3. The ld. DR also agreed that the appeal of the revenue may also be dismissed as withdrawn with similar right of revival of the appeal. 4. In view of the above, we dismiss these appeals as withdrawn, subject to the rider that in the unlikely event of matter not being resolved under the Vivad se Vishwas scheme, both assessee and revenue shall have liberty to approach the Tribunal for restoration of their respective appeals. 5. In the result, these appeals are dismissed as withdrawn – subject to the observation above. Pronounced in the open court today on the 14 January, 2021.
