At the outset, we find that appeal filed by assessee is barred by limitation of one day for which necessary petition for condonation of delay along with affidavit explaining the reasons for the delay has been filed. The learned counsel submitted that due to illness, the assessee could not file appeal within the time allowed under the Act, therefore delay may be 2 ITA No 2617/Chny/2019 condoned. Having heard both sides and considered the petition filed by the assessee for condonation of delay, we are of the considered view that reasons given by assessee for not filing the appeal within the time allowed under the Act comes under reasonable cause as provided under the Act for condonation of delay and hence, delay in filing of above appeal is condoned and appeal filed by the assessee is admitted for adjudication. 3. We have heard learned counsel for the assessee and learned DR and also perused the materials available on record. At the time of hearing, learned counsel for the assessee has filed a letter along with Form No.3 issued by the Department under ‘Vivad se Vishwas Scheme, 2020’ and submitted that the assessee has availed the VSVS scheme to settle its pending disputes. The ld. counsel for the assessee further submitted that the Department has accepted application filed by the assessee and issued Form 3 quantifying amount of taxes payable under VSVS scheme. Therefore, the ld. counsel for the assessee submitted that the appeal filed by the assessee may be dismissed as withdrawn. The ld. DR, on the other 3 ITA No 2617/Chny/2019 hand, has no objection for dismissing the appeal as the Designated Authority has issued Form 3. Therefore, considering the fact that the assessee has filed application for withdrawal of appeal and has also filed Form 3 issued by the Department, we dismiss the appeal filed by the assessee as withdrawn. However, a liberty is given to the assessee to restore the appeal, in case the application filed by the assessee before the Designated Authority, is rejected for any reason. 4. In the result, appeal filed by the assessee is dismissed as withdrawn.
