The case ITA 1074/DEL/2019 concerns the appeal filed by Abhay Jain (HUF) against the order of the Income Tax Officer, Ward 55(1), New Delhi for the assessment year 2014-15. This legal battle, however, concluded with an interesting turn of events as the appellant chose to withdraw the appeal.
Originally filed on February 11, 2019, the case was directed against the order of CIT(A)-37, dated December 24, 2018. The matter escalated to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Delhi Bench ‘A’, and was presided over through video conferencing by Shri G.S. Pannu, Vice President, and Shri Amit Shukla, Judicial Member.
On September 1, 2020, Abhay Jain (HUF) submitted a request for withdrawal of the appeal, opting to settle the dispute under the Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme, 2020, a government initiative aimed at reducing litigation in direct taxes. This decision was accepted by the Tribunal on November 16, 2020, marking a significant resolution strategy encouraged by tax authorities to minimize legal disputes.
The withdrawal under the Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme indicates a shift towards more conciliatory approaches in tax dispute resolutions. This case highlights the potential benefits of such schemes in providing a quick and efficient resolution to long-standing disputes, reducing the burden on judicial systems and the appellants alike.
The case of ITA 1074/DEL/2019 sets a precedent for similar cases, where the focus is shifted from prolonged litigation to negotiated settlements, showcasing the effectiveness of government schemes like Vivad Se Vishwas in dispute resolution.
