The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal considered the assessee's request for withdrawal. As the revenue had no objection, the tribunal dismissed the appeal as withdrawn.

The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) had taken divergent views on similar purchases from the same party in other cases, estimating profit at 8% and 10%. Therefore, the Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to add 9% of the bogus purchases as income.
The CIT(A) initially allowed the assessee's ground regarding the absence of incriminating material, stating no addition could be made. However, the CIT(A) then decided the appeal on merits and confirmed the substantive addition, leading to the appeal being partly allowed.
The Tribunal held that the matter requires reconsideration by the AO as the assessee had produced documentary evidence. The AO did not discuss the evidence and made the addition solely based on the non-response of creditors.
The Tribunal recalled the ex-parte order and allowed the Miscellaneous Application. The appeal was then remanded back to the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication, subject to the assessee paying Rs. 25,000/- to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund and submitting evidence.
The Tribunal noted that the CBDT Circular revised the monetary limit for filing appeals to Rs. 50 Lacs and that this applied to pending appeals. Therefore, the appeal was not maintainable.
