The aforesaid appeal has been filed by the assessee challenging the order dated 9th July 2018, passed by the learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)–9, Mumbai, for the assessment year 2013–14.
The assessee has filed a letter dated 15th December 2020, before 2. the Registry of the Tribunal stating that he has applied for settling the tax dispute arising in the present appeal under the Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020. The aforesaid letter along with copies of the declarations in Form–I and II are kept on record.
2 Subhkam Securities Pvt. Ltd.
Heard the parties and perused the material on record. Considering the fact that the assessee has already applied for settling the dispute in the present appeal under the Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020, I am inclined to dismiss the appeal as withdrawn. However, liberty is granted to the assessee to seek restoration of this appeal in the event the application to be filed under the Vivad Se Vishwas Act,2020 is not accepted by the Department. In other words, in the event of non acceptance of assessee’s declaration by the Revenue, the assessee can file a miscellaneous application seeking recall of this order and restoration of the appeal. This is in view of the decision of the Hon’ble Madras High Court in order dated 16th October 2020, delivered in M/s. Nannusamy Mohan (HUF) v/s ACIT, TCA no.372 of 2020.
In the result, appeal is dismissed with the aforementioned liberty. Order pronounced in the open court on 16.12.2020
