¶42

CEXA218.07.doc

¶43

They are withdrawn in the light of the Circular issued by the Revenue which determines the limit of monetary sums or the sum above which alone the appeals of the Revenue are to be pressed. Every appeal involving a sum mentioned below this limit would not be pressed and on the Revenue's request the Court may dismiss it as withdrawn.

¶44

We have found that the Revenue is withdrawing the appeals though admitted on substantial questions of law. It is for the Revenue to decide and withdraw the appeals based on its Circular, but we clarify that we have expressed no opinion on the questions of law nor on the legality and validity of the Circular.

¶45

4 . By clarifying as above, all these appeals are allowed to be withdrawn and stand disposed of as such.

¶46

5 . In view of the withdrawal of the appeals, nothing survives in the Notices of Motion and they are, accordingly, disposed of as such.
