The tribunal considered this request in light of the Act and the issuance of Form No. 3.

3. The Revenue objected to the withdrawal of their appeal by the assessee, while having no objection to the withdrawal of the assessee's appeal. The tribunal took note of this objection raised by the Revenue.

4. After careful consideration, the tribunal observed that Form No. 3 had been issued to the assessee under The Direct Taxes Vivaad Se Vishwas Act, 2020, leading to the dismissal of all appeals. Both quantum appeals and penalty appeals were treated as withdrawn and dismissed. The parties were granted liberty to approach the tribunal for a recall of the order if the dispute remained unsettled.
