Per Sonjoy Sarma, Judicial Member:
The present appeal has been preferred by the assessee against an order dated 30.11.2023 of the Commissioner of Income Tax, Appeal CIT(A), Patna-3 [hereinafter referred to as ‘CIT(A)’] passed u/s 250 of the Income Tax Act (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Act’).
At the time of hearing, the Ld. Authorised Representative for the assessee fairly submitted that the instant appeal filed by the assessee for the assessment year 2018-19 appears to have been filed by mistake. It has also pointed out that the ld. CIT(A) has already granted relief to the assessee and there is no grievance remains against the order passed by the ld. CIT(A). In view of the submission, the ld. AR prayed that the appeal may be allowed to be withdrawn.
We, after considering the rival submissions and examining the records, find that the appeal has wrongly been filed by the counsel of the assessee. Therefore, we treat the instant appeal to be dismissed as withdrawn.
In the result, the appeal is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as above. Kolkata, the 7th August, 2025.
