Facts
The Assessee had inadvertently filed two appeals against the same order, one online and one physically. The online appeal (ITA No.4244/M/2023) was already decided by the Tribunal and the impugned order was set aside. The Assessee requested that the filing of two appeals be excused.
Held
The Tribunal noted that the Assessee had inadvertently filed two simultaneous appeals challenging the same order. One of these appeals had already been decided by the Tribunal, setting aside the impugned order. Therefore, the current appeal was rendered infructuous.
