| Bot Summary: | 2003- 04 2001-02 are directed against the orders passed by the CIT(A)-2, Mumbai dated 17.09.2018 which in turn arises out of an orders passed by the Assessing Officer under Section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 dated 29.06.2016. The CBDT, vide Circular No. 17/2019 dated 8th August, 2019, has amended para 3 of Circular No. 3/2018 dated 11.07.2018 modifying the monetary limits for filing of appeals by the Department before the Tribunal. The tax effect in dispute in the captioned appeal is stated to be below the enhanced monetary limit of 50 lakhs specified in the CBDT Circular dated 08.08.2019 read with circular 11.07.2018. Without going into the merit of the issues raised, the captioned appeal is deemed to be withdrawn/not pressed as it s filing is not in consonance with the CBDT circular dated 08.08.2019 read with circular 11.07.2018. It is also noted that the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of DCIT Ors vs. MSEB Holding Company Ltd. SLP No.26373/2019 dated 16.08.2019 has taken cognizance of the enhanced limit while dismissing the SLP arising from the judgement passed by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in WP No. 3642/2018 dated 25.01.2019. We clarify that if on a later date, the Revenue finds that filing of the appeal is protected by any of the exceptions provided in para 10 of the CBDT circular 11.07.2018, it shall be at liberty to approach the Tribunal for recall of the instant order and reinstitution of the appeal for adjudication on merits. In conclusion, by applying the circular dated 08.08.2019 read with circular dated 11.07.2018, the captioned appeals of the Revenue are dismissed as withdrawn/ not pressed. |
