(Delivered by M.DURAISWAMY, J.) This appeal filed by the assessee under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 ('the Act' for brevity), is directed against the order dated 13.10.2011 passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Madras "C" Bench, ('the Tribunal' for brevity) in I.T.A.No.794/Mds/10 for the assessment year 200506. The above appeal has been admitted on 01.02.2013 on the following Substantial Question of Law:

"Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was right in law in holding that appellant is not entitled to set off carried forward business/capital loss and

unabsorbed depreciation of the amalgamating companies in terms of provisions of Sec.72A read with Rule 9 C?"

2. We have heard Mr.R.Venkata Narayanan for M/s.Subbaraya Aiyar Padmanabhan, learned counsel for the appellant/assessee and Mrs.V.Pushpa, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent/Revenue.

3. It may not be necessary for this Court to decide the Substantial Question of Law framed for consideration on account of certain subsequent developments.

The Act of the Parliament received the assent of the President on 17th March 2020 and published in the Gazette of India on 17th March 2020.

4. We are informed by the learned counsel for the appellant/ assessee that the assessee had already been issued with Form-3 on 03.05.2021 and the learned counsel for the appellant seeks permission of this Court to withdraw the appeal.
