ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE S.G.PANDIT)
This appeal is filed under Section 260-A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (for short 'the Act') questioning the correctness or otherwise of order passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Bengaluru in ITA No.141/Bang/2021 dated 07.12.2021 for the Assessment Year 2014-15 (Annexure-C).
The appeal was admitted on 06.09.2022 to examine the questions of law raised by the appellants which are extracted below:
"Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal order can be said as perverse in nature in holding that the conditions prescribed for passing order under section 263 of the Act are not satisfied when the CIT has given elaborate findings to demonstrate that the order passed by assessing authority was prejudicial as well as erroneous order"?
"Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal is right in law in allowing appeal preferred by assessee by setting aside order passed under section 263 of the Act ignoring that assessing authority had not derived gross profits from unaccounted sales and purchases recorded in seized documents and

assessing authority further failed to make proper enquiry before making additions"?
"Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal's order setting aside order passed under section 263 of the Act holding that the assessing authority was correct in determining the unaccented income on the basis of GP rate in disclosed transactions as per regular books of accounts ignoring findings of Commissioner of Income Tax"?.
This appeal was filed on 23.05.2022 and Monetary value involved is Rs.29,29,383/-. Subsequent to filing of the appeal, Circular bearing No.5/2024 [F.No.279/Misc.142/2007- ITJ(PT.)] dated 15.3.2024 is issued under Section 265(A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 prescribing monetary limit and the exceptions to prefer an appeal before the High Court.
In view of the above Circular, the above appeal would not be maintainable since monetary value involved in this appeal is less than rupees one crore. Therefore, the above appeal would not survive for consideration and the same is dismissed.
