This Review Petition coming on for orders this day,N KUMARJ>made the following:- ORDER The Revenue is seeking to review the order passed by thisCourt on 19.3.2012 whereunder this Court dismissed theappeal on the ground that the net tax effect was less thanRs.4,00,000/-, as instruction No. 2/2005 prescribes amonetary limit of Rs.4,00,000/- tor preferring an appeal. 2. Itis not in dispute that the net tax effect in the appealwas less than Rs.4,00,000/-. But, the contention is that thisliability of payment of tax is recurring in nature and thereforethe instruction is not applicable. Therefore, they seek forreview of the order passed by this Court. 3. We do not see any merit in the said contention. Aslong as the tax liability is less than Rs.4,00,000/-, merelybecause it is of a recurring nature, is no ground to deny thebenefit of the said circular to the assessee. In fact, it is clearthat the principles ofres judicatais not attracted to taxjurisprudence which is also made manifest by Section 268A ofthe Income Tax Act. Therefore, this review petition isdismissed. Sd/-JUDGE Sd/-JUDGE
