2. On 27.01.2014, this tax case appeal is admitted by this Court on the following substantial question of law;

' Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal was right in holding that the sum of Rs.54,45,000/- received from the company in which the directors of the assessee have substantial interest is not assessable as deemed dividend under section 2(22)(e) of the Income Tax Act, in the hands of the assessee company?”

3. When the matter was taken up for consideration, the learned counsel for the appellant / Revenue brought to the notice of this court the Circular No.17/2019 dated 08.08.2019 issued by the Central Board Direct Taxes, wherein, it is stipulated that appeals shall not be filed/pursued by the Department before the High Court in cases where the tax effect does not exceed Rs.1,00,00,000/- (Rupees One Crore). It is also submitted that the tax 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis TCA.No.783/2013 effect in this appeal is less than the threshold limit.

4. In the light of the aforesaid submissions made by the learned counsel for the appellant / Revenue, the present appeal, wherein, the tax effect is said to be less than the monetary limit imposed, is dismissed as withdrawn, keeping open the substantial question of law for determination in an appropriate case.
