Both the parties before us mutually agreed that this revenue appeal is to be dismissed as not maintainable in view of the recent Circular issued by the CBDT dated 08/08/2019 wherein the revenue has been directed to withdraw the appeal preferred by it before the Tribunal if the tax effect on the disputed issues is less than or equal to Rs.50,00,000/-.
