order dated 27.09.2012 made in I.TA.Nos.816/Mds/2009, 817/Mds/2009,

3.The above appeals were admitted on 17.04.2014 on the
following substantial question of law:
“Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the
case, the Tribunal was right in holding that reassessment
proceedings were not validly initiated and thereby quashing
the proceedings?”
4.The learned Senior Standing Counsel for the appellant submits
that the above appeals are not pursued by the Revenue on account of the
Low Tax Effect in terms of Circular No.17/2019 dated 08.08.2019 issued
by the Central Board of Direct Taxes. By the said Circular, the monetary
limit for filing or pursuing an appeal before the High Court has been
increased to Rs.1 crore. It is further submitted that the tax effect in these
cases is less than the threshold limit.
5.In the light of the said submissions, the above Tax Case Appeals
are dismissed as withdrawn on account of the Low Tax Effect. The
substantial question of law framed is left open. In the event the tax effect
in these cases is above the threshold limit fixed in the said Circular,
