Bot Summary: | We find that grounds urged, issue involved and substantial question raised in this appeal are all academic in nature, inasmuch as, substantial relief which appellant had sought for before tribunal has been granted. Issue relating to right of the Assessing Officer to issue notice under Section 17 of the Wealth Tax Act, 1957, for re-opening the assessment has not been dealt by the tribunal, though assessee had filed 3 cross-objections. Present appeal has been preferred by the assessee, being aggrieved by the order of rejection of cross-objections by tribunal. Sri.M.Lava, learned counsel appearing for appellant is correct in contending that in the event of revenue were to come in appeal against the order of the tribunal granting relief to the assessee, appellant herein should be permitted to pursue its grievance with regard to the very jurisdiction of the Assessing Officer in issuing the notice for re-opening. The issue relating to re-opening of assessment being academic in nature and as on date there being no appeal filed by the revenue against grant of relief to assessee, we do not propose to go into the right of Assessing Officer to reopen the assessment particularly in the backdrop of revenue having not filed any appeal against the order of tribunal whereunder substantial relief to the assessee has already been granted. This appeal is dismissed/disposed of 4 with liberty to the assessee to revive this appeal in the event of revenue preferring or filing appeal against the order of tribunal dated 24.09.2019. |
