HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:32369-DB ITA No. 240 of 2024
This Court, by order dated 19.08.2025, dismissed the Revenue’s appeal, holding that the substantial questions of law raised are already covered by the judgment of this Court in the case of M/s. Vodafone Idea Limited vs. Deputy Director of Income Tax and Another in ITA No.160/2015 and allied matters, dated 14.07.2023, as well as by the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Deputy Commissioner of Income-tax, International Taxation v. Vodafone Idea Limited, [(2025) 176 taxmann.com 626 (SC)].
As the Revenue’s appeal against the common order for the Assessment Year 2014-15 has been dismissed, we find no reason to entertain the present appeal.
Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed in view of the order dated 19.08.2025 in ITA No.233/2024.
