Heard Sri.A.Kumar for the appellant and

¶21

Sri.Christopher Abraham, the learned Standing Counsel for respondent.

¶22

The appeal has been admitted on the following substantial questions of law :

¶23

“A. Whether on facts and in circumstances of the case, the tribunal is justified in holding that the learned CIT Appeals has rights recalled its earlier order by exercise of power under S. 154 of the Act.

¶24

B. Whether on facts and in circumstances of the case, the tribunal and the authority below is justified in relying on Kil Kotagiris case 174 ITR 579 to sustain the rectification u / s 154 of the Act.

¶25

C. Whether on facts and in circumstances of the case, the tribunal is justified in sustaining the rectification by the CITA when there is a divergence of judicial opinion on a question of law or two conceivable views are possible.”

¶26

¶27

ITA 8/2022

¶28

The Tribunal, while confirming the order of the Commissioner, in the judgment impugned referred to Chirakkal Service Co-operative Bank Ltd v. CIT (2016 384 ITR 490 [Ker.] and recorded a few findings.

¶29

The Apex Court in Mavilayi Service Cooperative Bank Ltd., has laid down the law on the point. The Tribunal remanded the matter to the Assessing Officer. It is therefore needless to observe that the Assessing officer while redoing the exercise of assessment, refers and relies on the dictum applicable as on date. We are of the view that the questions so raised in the appeal need not be considered.

¶30

Hence the appeal stands disposed of with the above observation. The other questions raised by the appellant are left open for consideration in appropriate cases. The entire exercise of assessment shall be completed within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
