It is not in dispute that the net tax effect in theappeal was less than Rs.4,00,000/-. But, the contention isithat the issue relating to lability of payment of tax isirecurring in nature and therefore the instruction is notapplicable. Therefore, they seek for review of the orderpassed by this Court. 3. We do not see any merit in the said contention. Aslong as the issue relating to tax liability is less than Rs.4,00,000/-, merely because it is of a recurring nature, is|no ground to deny the benefit of the said circular to theassessee. In fact, it is clear that the principles ofres judicatais not attracted to tax jurisprudence which is also mademanifest by Section 268A of the Income Tax Act. Therefore,this review petition is dismissed. Sd/-JUDGE Sd/-JUDGE
