Facts
The assessee filed an appeal for AY 2018-19. The assessee's letter dated 05-12-2024 indicated that this appeal was a duplicate of another identical appeal filed by the assessee (ITA No.2451/Chny/2024). This duplication occurred because both an online and a physical appeal were filed, and the registry treated them as separate appeals.
Held
The assessee's Authorized Representative (AR) appeared virtually and stated that the appeal was duplicate and requested it be dismissed. The revenue did not object. Therefore, the Tribunal held that the appeal is dismissed as duplicate.
Key Issues
Whether the appeal filed is a duplicate of an already filed appeal and if so, whether it should be dismissed.

Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2018-19 arises out of the order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] dated 22-07-2024 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing Officer [AO] u/s.143(3) r.w.s 144B of the Act on 22-04-2021.
From assessee’s letter dated 05-12-2024, it is quite clear that this is duplicate appeal since another identical appeal has been filed by the assessee vide ITA No.2451/Chny/2024. The same is apparently due to the fact that the assessee has filed an online appeal as well as physical appeal and registry has considered the same as separate appeals. The Ld. AR appeared virtually and stated that this being duplicate appeal may be dismissed accordingly. The revenue did not raise any objection.
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed as duplicate appeal. Order pronounced in open court on 10th December, 2024.
