Tax Case Appeal No.116 of 2016
JUDGMENT
(Delivered by M.DURAISWAMY, J.) This appeal filed by the assessee under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 ('the Act' for brevity), is directed against the order dated 05.03.2015 passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Madras "C" Bench, ('the Tribunal' for brevity) in I.T.A.No.2010/Mds/2014 for the assessment year 2010-11. The above appeal was admitted on 22.02.2016 on the following Substantial Questions of Law in the above appeal:
"1.Whether the Assessing Officer wholly disallowed payments, when evidence has been given by many persons receiving the same, admitting to such receipt merely on the fact that some of the workmen denied receipt of such payment, is perverse?
2.Whether a finding that a document relied upon by the assessee as an evidence of an agreement is invalid, is sufficient for the Assessing Officer to conclude that payments have not been made especially when, the factum of payment if seen independently, there are other evidence to prove the same, is perverse? and https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/ Page 2/5 Tax Case Appeal No.116 of 2016
3.Whether the Tribunal erred in uploading the orders of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and the Assessing Officer based upon evidence of witnesses, who were not cross examined?”
2. We have heard Mr.N.S.Nandakumar, learned counsel for the appellant/assessee and Mr.T.R.Senthil Kumar, learned Senior Standing Counsel and Mrs.K.G.Usha Rani, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent/Revenue.
3. It may not be necessary for this Court to decide the Substantial Questions of Law framed for consideration on account of certain subsequent developments. The Government of India enacted the Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020 (Act 3 of 2020) to provide for resolution of disputed tax and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. The Act of the Parliament received the assent of the President on 17th March 2020 and published in the Gazette of India on 17th March 2020.

4. We are informed by the learned counsel for the appellant/ assessee that the assessee had already been issued with Form-3 on 28.12.2020 and the learned counsel for the appellant seeks permission of this Court to withdraw the appeal.
5. In view of the submission made by the learned counsel for the appellant, the Tax Case Appeal stands dismissed as withdrawn. No costs.
Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
