Before: SHRI DUVVURU RL REDDY, VP & SHRI RAJESH KUMAR, AM
Per Duvvuru Rl Reddy, VP:
These appeals of the assessee are arising against the Penalty orders u/s 271 (1) (c) of the income tax Act,1961.
The Ld. DR fairly agreed that in view of the Tribunal’s order restore the quantum appeals, the penalty would also restore to the file of the learned CIT (A).
We have considered the rival submissions and perused material available on the record. We find that all these appeals are filed against the levy of penalty under Section 271(1)(c) of the Act. As the quantum appeals are pending before the learned CIT (A), all the penalty appeals should go back to the file of the learned CIT (A). Therefore, we restore the penalty appeals to the file of the learned CIT (A).
In the result, all the appeals of the assessee are allowed for statistical purposes.
Order pronounced in the open court on 28.11.2025.
