Shri B.Panda, Sr. Advocate and Shri B.Panda, ld ARs appeared for the assessee and Shri S.C. Mohanty, ld Sr Dr appeared for the revenue. 3. At the time of hearing, it was informed to Sr. counsel that M.As are filed belatedly by 368 days. It was submitted by Sr counsel that the Limitation Act and Limitation under both the Special and General Laws had been stayed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court vide its order in Suo moto W.P. (C) No.3 of 2020. Initially, the stay was operational from 15.3.2000 to 14.3.2021. It was subsequently, again restored and extended from 10.1.2022 to 28.2.2022. It was the submission that if this period is excluded, there would be no delay. We find substance in the arguments of ld Sr counsel for the assessee. If the period during which Hon’ble Supreme Court had stayed the Limitation is excluded then M.As filed by the assessee are within time. This being so, the M.As. filed by the assessee are taken up for hearing on merits. 4. Ld Sr counsel submitted that he wants to file written submission and wants time. At this point of time, he was informed that the M.As having been posted for hearing, it should have been filed today. Ld counsel for the assessee is not in a position to substantiate the claim in the M.As. Ld Sr. DR vehemently supported the order of the Tribunal. It was his submission that there is no mistake apparent from the order of the Tribunal has been pointed out. Page3 | 4 5. We have considered the rival submissions. Perusal of the M.As filed by the assesses show that the assessee is challenging the estimation of profit as done by the Tribunal. It must be mentioned that even in the M.As, the assessee has categorically admitted that the Hon’ble Jurisdictional High Court had left the matter of the percentage of profit to the discretion of the Tribunal. However, the maximum limit was fixed at 2%. The Tribunal has followed the order of the Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court of Orissa and has restricted the net profit to the maximum limit fixed by the Hon’ble High Court at 2%. No error in the order of the Tribunal has been specifically pointed out by the assessee. This being so, as no mistake apparent from the order of the Tribunal having been pointed out by the Sr counsel, the M.As filed by the assessee stand dismissed. 6. In the result, M.As filed by the assessee stand dismissed. Order dictated and pronounced in the open court on 8/7/2022.
