Case Law Details
Narendra Kumar Khandelwal Vs ITO (ITAT Jaipur)
We have considered the rival contentions and carefully perused the material available on record as well as order passed by the Tribunal in the main appeal. From the record, we found that the Tribunal vide consolidated order dated 18/12/2015 had dismissed the appeals of the Revenue as well as cross objection of the assessee by holding that since the revenue’s appeals were dismissed and the C.O. is having no separate existence, therefore, C.O. of the assessee was also dismissed. However, after going through the provisions of Section 253(4) of the Act and also keeping in view the principles laid down by the Hon’ble Orissa High court in the case of Tata Sponge Iron Ltd. Vs CIT (supra) we are of the view that the C.O. filed by the party would be disposed off independently as if it was a separate appeal filed by the party and thus the C.O. cannot be dismissed in the event of dismissal of Revenue’s appeal on account of low effect. Therefore, keeping in view the above proposition, we recall the order of the Tribunal dated 18/12/2015 passed in C.O. No. 27/JP/2014 arising out of ITA No. 568/JP/2014. The Registry is directed to fix the C.O. of the assessee for hearing on regular basis. Parties be informed accordingly.
