It was further informed in their letter that Designated Authority under VSVS had issued Form-3 already and that the assessee had also filed Form-4 under VSVS. At the time of hearing before us, the Learned Authorised Representative (“Ld. AR” for short) for assessee as well as the learned Senior Departmental Representative (“Ld. Sr. DR”, for short) submitted before us that this appeal may be treated as withdrawn and may be dismissed on account of the aforesaid VSVS.
