Bot Summary: Respondent APPEAL under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act against the order dated 09.12.2005 in I.T.A.No. A perusal of the order of the Tribunal shows that the Tribunal remanded the case to the Assessing Officer to consider the issue whether the assessee would be entitled to the benefit of Section 80HHC of the Income Tax Act in respect of the belated receipt of sale proceeds. 364/Mds/2001 dated 09.12.2005 and held against the assessee. As against the said order, the assessee preferred an appeal before the Commissioner of Income-Tax, who allowed the appeal filed by the assessee granting the benefit under Section 80HHC of the Income Tax Act. The Tribunal, by order dated 26.2.2009, partly allowed the appeal filed by the Revenue. Learned counsel appearing for the assessee also submits that the order of the Tribunal dated 26.2.2009 has been accepted by the assessee and no further appeal has been preferred as against the said order of the Tribunal. Recording the above submission of the learned counsel appearing for the assessee, this Tax Case stands disposed of, as the assessee himself has accepted the order of the Tribunal dated 26.2.2009 holding that the benefit under Section 80HHC of the Income Tax Act will not accrue to the present transaction.
