PAN : AAAAT7124K. (Appellant) (Respondent) Appellant by : Sri.Amaljith, CA Respondent by : Smt.Leena Lal, Sr.AR Date of Pronouncement : 07.02.2025 Date of Hearing : 08.01.2024 O R D E R Per Prakash Chand Yadav, JM : These appeals and as many as stay petitions are arising from the orders of the learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) and it relates to the assessment years 2013-2014, 2016-2017 and 2017-2018, respectively.
At the very outset, the learned Counsel for the assessee submitted that the assessee wants to withdraw its appeals on the ground that the assessee has opted for VSVS 2024.
In view of the fact that the assessee has opted for VSVS 2024, we are dismissing the appeals as withdrawn, with a liberty to the assessee in case its dispute is not settled in VSVS, then the assessee may request the Tribunal for reinstatement of its appeal in accordance with law. Since the appeals are disposed of, the stay petitions become infructuous and accordingly dismissed.
Further, there was delay of 77 days in filing these appeals before the Tribunal. Since the assessee has opted for VSVS 2024, and there is no loss of revenue to the department, there is no significance in dealing with the condonation of delay.
In the result, the appeals as well as the stay petitions filed by the assessee are dismissed. Order pronounced on this 07th day of February, 2025.
