The revenue has filed the Miscellaneous Petition seeking condonation of delay of 5 days in filing the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 2. Upon hearing the submissions of Mrs.Sheela, learned Special Public Prosecutor for the appellant, we see no reason to condone the delay, seeing as ultimately the revenue would seek withdrawal of the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal once admitted. 3. We have had occasion to consider other Civil Miscellaneous Appeals involving identical issues, where, relying on the judgment of the Supreme Court in Union of India & Another V. M/s.Ganpati Dealcom Pvt. Ltd. (Review Petition (Civil) No.359 of 2023 in Civil Appeal No.5783 of 2022 dated 18.10.2024), the Income Tax Department has not been pursuing such appeals. 4. Hence, in the interests of consistency and on the basis of the fair representation by Mrs.Sheela, learned Special Public Prosecutor, the Miscellaneous Petition seeking condonation of delay is dismissed, as also the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal even in the SR stage. sl (ANITA SUMANTH J.)
