3 JUDGMENT
These appeals were admitted by a bench of this Court by an order dated 31.05.2017 on the following substantial question of law. “Whether the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal was justified in directing the Assessing Authority to assess the income of the assessee for the Assessment Year 2010-11 at the rate of 8% of total Turn-over treating the business of the assessee as “eligible business” which computation would be even less than the returned income of the assessee for the Assessment Year 2010-11. The Tribunal applied the rate of 8% on the total turn-over of Rs.68,21,34,103/-, which would be Rs.5,45,70,728/-, whereas the declared income of the assessee for the Assessment Year 2010-11 was Rs.9,21,99,256/- vide assessment order at Annexure-C.”
4 2. When the matters were taken up today, learned counsel for the parties jointly submitted that in compliance of the order passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, the Assessing Officer by an order dated 19.05.2015 passed an order of assessment and has treated the income of the assessee to be the income which was indicated by him in the return. 3. In view of the aforesaid submissions, nothing survives for adjudication in these appeals. Accordingly, same are disposed of.
