In Brief
The appellant sought permission to withdraw a pending civil appeal against the Income Tax Commissioner to avail the newly introduced Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020, which provides a mechanism for resolving pending tax disputes. The respondent (Income Tax Department) did not oppose the withdrawal. The Court granted the application and disposed of the appeal as withdrawn, allowing the appellant to pursue relief under the statutory dispute resolution scheme instead.
