The High Court, in light of the additional evidence produced and without expressing an opinion on the merits, remanded the matter back to the Assessing Officer. The Court noted the insertion of the second proviso to Section 40(a)(ia) and the first proviso to Section 201(1) of the Act, which create a fiction that if an assessee fails to deduct TDS but is not deemed an assessee in default under the first proviso to Section 201(1), it shall be deemed that the assessee has deducted and paid the tax on such sum on the date of furnishing of the return of income by the resident payee. The Court also referred to its earlier decision in Pr. Commissioner of Income Tax-2, Chandigarh Vs. Shivpal Singh Chaudhary, agreeing with the Delhi High Court in CIT vs. Ansal Land Mark Township Private Limited, that these provisos are declaratory and curative and applicable retrospectively from April 1, 2005. Therefore, the Assessing Officer is directed to decide the issue of disallowance afresh after hearing the appellant and considering the produced evidence.
The High Court dismissed the appeal as withdrawn. The court granted the liberty to the revenue to file an application for revival of the appeal as prayed for.

No specific finding on the merits of the case was given as the appeal was withdrawn.
The High Court dismissed the appeal as not pressed. The Revenue's counsel informed the Court that the tax effect in the appeal was ₹15,18,560/-. Citing CBDT Circular No. 3/2018, which sets a threshold for appeals, the Revenue stated it did not want to press the appeal on merits due to the tax effect being below ₹50 lacs. The Court accepted this submission and dismissed the appeal. Liberty was granted to the Revenue to seek revival of the appeal if circumstances changed. The question of law was expressly kept open.
The High Court held that in view of CBDT Circular No. 3/2018, the instant appeal is dismissed as not pressed. The reasoning is based on the Revenue's submission that the tax effect involved, ₹20,48,032/-, is less than ₹50 lacs, making it fall within the scope of the circular which advises against pursuing appeals with a lower tax effect. The ratio decidendi is that appeals with a tax effect below the prescribed monetary limit in the relevant CBDT circular can be withdrawn or not pressed by the Revenue. Liberty was granted to the Revenue to seek revival of the appeal if circumstances changed, and the question of law was kept open.
The High Court held that in view of CBDT Circular No. 3/2018, which provides for a monetary limit for filing appeals, and considering that the tax effect in the present case (₹12,56,600/-) was below the threshold of ₹50 lacs, the Revenue did not want to press the appeal on merits. Consequently, the High Court dismissed the instant appeal as not pressed. Liberty was granted to the Revenue to seek revival of the appeal if circumstances changed. The question of law was also kept open. The ratio decidendi is that appeals with a tax effect below the threshold specified in CBDT circulars may be dismissed as not pressed, without prejudice to the Revenue's right to seek revival under changed circumstances.
The High Court held that in view of CBDT Circular No. 3/2018, which stipulates a monetary limit for filing appeals, and the fact that the tax effect in this case (₹4,55,015/-) was below the threshold of ₹50 lacs, the Revenue did not wish to press the appeal on merits. Consequently, the High Court dismissed the appeal as not pressed. Liberty was granted to the Revenue to seek revival of the appeal if circumstances changed. The question of law was also kept open.

The High Court dismissed the appeal filed by the revenue. The dismissal was based on the low tax effect of ₹1,00,640/-, following the precedent set by the Supreme Court in Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. Dhanalekshmi Bank Ltd. (2015) 373 ITR 526 (SC). In that case, the Supreme Court had dismissed the appeal without going into the merits due to low tax effect, leaving the question of law open. The High Court clarified that the dismissal of the present appeal should not be construed as an affirmation of the ITAT's order on merits. The legal issue raised by the revenue was expressly left open to be adjudicated in an appropriate future case.
The High Court dismissed the appeal as withdrawn. The revenue, through its counsel, stated that it had instructions to withdraw the appeal due to the tax effect involved (₹24,05,192) and in view of CBDT Circular No.03/2018 dated 11.07.2018. The revenue sought liberty to file an application for revival of the appeal if something survived. The Court granted this liberty. The Court clarified that the withdrawal of the appeal by the revenue would not be considered an affirmation of the Tribunal's order on merits. Furthermore, the Court explicitly stated that the legal issue claimed by the revenue was left open to be adjudicated in an appropriate case.
The High Court held that the substantial questions of law were answered against the assessee and in favour of the revenue, dismissing the appeal. The Court referred to the Apex Court's decision in M/s Classic Binding Industries, which held that once an initial assessment year commences and an assessee starts enjoying deduction under Section 80IC, there cannot be another "Initial Assessment Year" for the purposes of Section 80IC within the 10-year period, even if substantial expansion is undertaken. This interpretation prevents an undertaking from claiming 100% deduction for an additional five years after substantial expansion, as the provision clearly stipulates a 25% deduction for the subsequent five years. The Court distinguished this from cases where initial deductions were availed under different provisions like Section 80IA or 80IB before Section 80IC was introduced. The High Court did not explicitly address the procedural issue of opportunity of being heard or the larger bench referral, as the substantive issue was decided against the assessee based on the Apex Court's ruling.
The High Court held that the substantial questions of law are answered against the assessee and in favour of the revenue. The Court relied on the Apex Court's decision in M/s Classic Binding Industries's case. The reasoning was that once an assessee starts claiming deduction under Section 80IC and the initial assessment year commences, there cannot be another 'Initial Assessment Year' within the 10-year period for the purpose of claiming 100% deduction on substantial expansion. The scheme of Section 80IC(3) clearly provides for 100% deduction for the first five assessment years from the initial assessment year, and thereafter, a deduction of 25% (or 30% for companies) for the subsequent five years. Allowing a new 'initial assessment year' due to substantial expansion would amount to doing violence to the provisions of sub-sections (3) and (6) of Section 80IC. The Court distinguished the case from Mahabir Industries, where the initial deduction was availed under different provisions (Section 80-IA and 80-IB) before Section 80-IC was introduced. In the present case, the deduction was availed solely under Section 80-IC. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed.
