ITA 273/2022, ITA 274/2022, ITA 275/2022, ITA 276/2022, ITA 277/2022, ITA 280/2022, ITA 415/2022, ITA 37/2023, ITA 67/2023, ITA 511/2023, ITA 513/2023, ITA 514/2023, ITA 515/2023 3.
These appeals are required to be disposed of as the amount of tax involved is below the threshold limit as prescribed under the Central Board of Direct Tax (CBDT) Circular No. 9 of 2024 dated 17.09.2024. 4.
However, the learned counsel state that in cases where prosecution is launched, the same would be excluded from the scope of the said circular. 5.
The CBDT circular dated 17.09.2024 in turn refers to Circular No. 5 of 2024 dated 15.03.2024. Clause d of paragraph 3.1 of the said circular is relevant, and is set out below:
"d. Where the case is one in which prosecution has been filed by the Department in the relevant case and the trial is pending in any Court or conviction order has been passed and the same has not been compounded, or..."
6.
It is apparent from the above that the cases, where prosecution has been filed by the Department and the trial is pending in any Court, or a conviction order has been passed which has not been compounded, would be excluded from the purview of the said circular. However, in the present case, it is not disputed that the prosecutions have either been closed or quashed. Thus, the aforesaid exclusionary clause is not applicable. 7.
In view of above, the present appeals are disposed of on the ground of low tax effect.
