Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, MUMBAI BENCHES “J”, MUMBAI
Before: Shri G S Pannu & Shri Pawan Singh
O R D E R Per G S Pannu, Accountant Member
This appeal by the Revenue is directed against the order of the CIT(A)-47, Mumbai, dated 28.02.2017, which in turn has arisen out of the order passed by the AO u/s. 143(3) r.w.s. 263 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”) relating to A.Y. 2006-07.
Notably, the impugned assessment was made by the Assessing Officer as a consequence of an order passed by the Commissioner u/s. 263 of the Act, dated 31.03.2014. The CIT(A) noted that the Tribunal vide its order dated 04.11.2016 in had quashed the revisionary order passed by Commissioner u/s. 263 and, therefore, the Assessment made by the Assessing Officer would not survive. Against such decision of the CIT(A) the Revenue is in appeal before us.
Before us, the learned CIT-DR has not contested the factual matrix noted by the CIT(A) but pointed out that the appeal has been preferred by the Revenue to keep the matter alive because the order of the Tribunal dated 04.11.2016, quashing the order u/s. 263, has been contested in appeal before the Hon’ble Bombay High Court.
Considering the submissions put forth by the leaned CIT-DR and noting that the order of the Tribunal, dated 04.11.2016 (supra), continues to hold as it has not been altered by the higher authorities, we find no reason to interfere with the decision of the CIT(A) in quashing the impugned assessment.
Accordingly, the Revenue’s appeal is dismissed.
The above decision was pronounced in the open court at the conclusion of hearing in the presence of both the parties today i.e. 21st June, 2018.
