                                                    JUDGMENT

(Judgment was delivered by R. MAHADEVAN, J.)

This tax case appeal has been filed by the appellant / Revenue, calling in

question the correctness of the order dated 12.09.2001 passed by the Income Tax

Appellate Tribunal, 'B' Bench, Chennai, in I.T.A. No. 2103/Mds/1993, relating to

the assessment year 1991-92, by raising the following substantial questions of

law:-

(i) Whether in the facts and circumstances of the case, the

Tribunal was right in holding that the benefit of 80HHC is available

to the assessee on the export of granite?

(ii) Whether in the facts and circumstances of the case, the

Tribunal had enough material to come to the conclusion that the

assessee was eligble for the benefit of 80HHC on the export of

granites, when such a benefit was available only for cut and

polished granite?”

2. 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,

T.C.A. No. 575 of 2021

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 effect in

this appeal is less than the threshold limit.

3. 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less than the monetary limit imposed, is dismissed as withdrawn, keeping open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 questions of law for determination in an appropriate case. No

costs.
