PER R. K. PANDA, AM :

This appeal filed by the Revenue is directed against the order dated 27.12.2017 of CIT(A), Meerut relating to assessment year 2009-10.

The ld. counsel for the assessee at the outset submitted that the tax effect involved in the grounds raised by the Revenue is below Rs.20 lakhs. Therefore, in view of the CBDT Circular No.03/2018 [F.No.279/Misc.142/2007-ITJ (Pt)] dated 11th July, 2018 raising the monetary limits for filing of appeals by the Department before the ITAT, the appeal filed by the Revenue is not maintainable. It has also been clarified in the said Circular that pending appeals of the Department before the ITAT having monetary limits of Rs.20 lakhs will be treated as withdrawn as per para 3 of the said Circular. In view of the above, the appeal filed by the Revenue is not maintainable. Accordingly, the same is dismissed.

In the result, the appeal filed by the Revenue is dismissed.

Order pronounced in the open Court at the time of hearing itself i.e. on 01st August, 2018.
