While ITAs 329/2022, 337/2022, 340/2022 assail the order dated 17.03.2021 passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal [in short, “Tribunal”], ITA 341/2022, 343/2022 and 345/2022 assail the order dated 08.04.2021 and ITA 646/2023 assails the order dated 17.06.2021. 2.1.

assessee and the revenue in view of the respondent/assesse undergoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP). 3. We have been informed several times by the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the appellant/revenue that the respondents/companies, which are the part of the Amrapali Group, are undergoing insolvency proceedings. 4. We have also asked counsel for the appellant/revenue time and again as to the person upon whom notice needs to be served. 5. It was also conveyed to us that proceedings qua Amrapali Group are being looked at by the Supreme Court. 6. Since more than one year has passed without definite information, we are inclined to close the instant appeals, with liberty to the appellant/revenue to approach the court for revival, albeit as per law, as and when they obtain clarity in the above-captioned matters. 7. Consequently, the pending applications concerning condonation of delay in re-filing the appeal (i.e., CM APPL. 60497/2023 in ITA 646/2023) shall stand closed.
