At the very outset, it was submitted by Shri Bajpai, Advocate, the ld. counsel for the assessee, that the assessee does not intend to prosecute it’s instant appeal and, rather, seeks permission for it’s withdrawal. This, he explained, is for the reason that the assessee had opted for settlement of the dispute being agitated under the Direct Tax Vivas Se Vishwas Act, 2020 vide application dated 12/12/2020, which process stands since concluded by the issue of Form-5 (issued Darul Uloom Ahle Sunnat, Ashraf Nagar, Madar Tekri, Jabalpur (MP) [PAN : AAATD 7845 E] vs. ITO (Exemption), Ward, Jabalpur. (Appellant) (Respondent) ITA No. 46/JAB/2022 (AY: 2015-16) Darul Uloom Ahle Sunnat v. ITO 2 | P a g e under Rule 7 of Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Rules, 2020) on 21/12/2021, signifying the said conclusion. He would, then, take us through the copies of Forms 1 to 5, indicating the various processes an application under the said Act moves through prior to conclusion. The ld. DR, on the same being put to him, did not, and only understandably so, raise any objection in the matter. 3. We have, in view of the foregoing, no hesitation in permitting the withdrawal of the captioned appeal. Rather, an appeal pending before an authority, on it being so settled, becomes not maintainable. We decide accordingly. 4. In the result, the assessee’s appeal is dismissed in limine.
