(acknowledgement copy enclosed as Annexure 1 for ready reference).
Further, additional grounds were filed on 1 February 2024. Also, an appeal was filed earlier before your Honours, on 7 April 2022
against the order passed under section 143(3) read with section 144C(3) and read with section 144B of the Act dated 28 May 2021
(acknowledgement copy enclosed as Annexure 2 for ready reference), for which has been assigned.
However, subsequently, the Appellant had filed a revised Form 36 and grounds of appeal challenging the same order passed under section 143(3) read with section 144B of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (the "Act") dated 22 February
2022 (acknowledgement copy of Revised Form 36 and grounds of appeal enclosed as Annexure 3 for ready reference). Thus, both the appeals ie.

The Appellant hereby submits that the appeal bearing ITA No.
596/Del/2022 has been adjourned sine die and the captioned appeal i.e.
ITA No. 2792/DEL/2023 is fixed for hearing before your Honours on 1
October 2025 and accordingly the Appellant wishes to withdraw the captioned appeal i.e. ITA No. 2792/Del/2023 in the interest of judicial propriety and to avoid parallel proceedings on the same subject matter
