J U D G M E N T
The mandatory limit in this appeal is less than Rs.10 lakhs. This Court in the case of CIT Vs. RANKA AND RANKA in 72 DTR 270 (KAR), has held that the Circular No.3/2011 which prescribes the mandatory limits of Rs.10 lakhs for filing appeal by the Revenue applies to pending appeal and also has prospective effect. Thus, rejected the contention of the Revenue on the ground that the said Circular has only prospective effect and does not apply to pending appeals. The Revenue has preferred SLP before the Supreme Court in SLP No.27468/2012 pending decision. In view of the
3 decision of the Court in Ranka and Ranka case, the appeal is to be dismissed on the ground of mandatory limit. If the Revenue succeeds in the SLP pending before the Supreme Court, the appellants are at liberty to make an application for revival of the appeal for disposal on merits. Accordingly, the appeal is disposed of.
