At the outset itself, it is noted that all revenue’ s appeals are hit by CBDT circular No. 17/2019 dated 05.05.2019 and the tax effect involved in each case, which is less than Rs. 50 lacs, therefore, the revenue’s appeal is not maintainable in view of cited the CBDT circular No. 17/2019 dated 05.05.2019. Since the tax effect involved in this appeal of the revenue is less than Rs.50 lacs, we treat the revenue appeal to fall in the ken of CBDT circular (supra) and so we dismiss it as not maintainable. However, the revenue is at liberty to prefer Misc. Application to recall this order provided it falls under any of the exception clauses cited in the CBDT Circular (supra).
