Facts
The assessee filed an appeal for AY 2010-11 against an order by the National Faceless Appeal Centre. Subsequently, the assessee applied for and received acceptance under the Direct Vivad se Visvas Scheme - 2024 (DTVSV-24), expressing readiness to pay tax as per the designated authority's order.

It granted liberty to both parties to approach the Tribunal via a Miscellaneous Application for restoration or further directions if the DTVSV-2024 application is not finally settled. The Assessing Officer was directed to pass consequential orders.
Key Issues
Whether the appeal can be dismissed as withdrawn due to the assessee's participation in and acceptance under the Direct Vivad se Visvas Scheme - 2024, with conditions for restoration if the scheme's settlement fails.
