O R D E R

PER S.S.GODARA (J.M):

This Assessee’s appeal for A.Y.2008-09 arises from Mumbai’s order of Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-30, in case No.CIT(A)-30/19(1)(2)/499/2013-14 dated 26/02/2018, in proceedings u/s.271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 [hereinafter referred to as Act].

2. None appears at the assessee’s behest. The case is therefore taken for adjudication. We notice during the course of hearing that the assessee’s letter dated 03/03/2020 forming part of the case records expressed its intention to apply for settlement benefit under the Direct Tax Vivad se Vishwas Scheme, 2020. We therefore deem it appropriate to dismiss the instant appeal subject to the condition that in case the assessee fails to avail the settlement benefit under the said scheme, this case shall stand revived after an application coming his side.

3. This assessee’s appeal is dismissed in above terms.

Order pronounced in the open court on this 14/10 /2020
