JUDGMENT
Learned counsel for the appellants-Revenue has placed before us a recent Circular No.21/2015 dated 10.12.2015, issued by the Central Board of Direct taxes, wherein the monetary limit of the tax effect for filing appeals before the High Court has been enhanced from Rs.10 lacs to Rs.20 lacs. In paragraph-10 of the said Circular, it has been clarified that the same will apply retrospectively to pending appeals also, which, if below the specified tax limits, may be withdrawn/not pressed.
Learned counsel for the appellants has stated that the tax effect in the present appeal is below the specified limit of Rs.20 lacs.
Accordingly, in view of the Circular No.21/2015 dated 10.12.2015, the tax effect in this appeal being less than Rs.20 lacs, the appeal stands dismissed.
