Facts
M/s. Smrithi Charitable Trust initially filed an appeal against the Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemption)'s order dated 27/03/2024, which rejected its application for final registration under Section 12A(1)(AC)(iii) for A.Y. 2024-25. The Trust had previously obtained provisional registration under Section 12A(1)(AC).
Held
Subsequently, the Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemption) granted the Trust regular registration under Section 12AB(1)(b) on 04.12.2024, effective from A.Y. 2022-23 to 2026-27. Consequently, the Trust informed the Tribunal that its appeal had become infructuous and sought to withdraw it. The Tribunal, with no objection from the Revenue, dismissed the appeal as withdrawn.
Key Issues
Whether an appeal challenging the rejection of final registration by the CIT(E) becomes infructuous and warrants withdrawal upon the subsequent grant of regular registration by the same authority.
