Issues: (i) Whether the penalty appeal should have been decided on merits when the assessee claimed benefit under the Direct Tax Dispute Resolution Scheme, 2016 and contended that the appeal stood deemed withdrawn.
Analysis: The record showed that the assessee had obtained a certificate under the Scheme and had raised the contention before the Tribunal that, on acceptance of the declaration and payment under the Scheme, the pending appeal could not be proceeded with on merits. The Tribunal noted that these submissions and the supporting provisions of the Scheme had not been effectively placed before the first appellate authority, and the assessee had also not appeared before that authority to explain the legal position. In these circumstances, the correctness of the first appellate order required reconsideration, with the assessee being given a proper opportunity to place the Scheme-related objections.
Conclusion: The matter was set aside and restored to the Commissioner (Appeals) for fresh disposal after considering the assessee's objections and after granting reasonable opportunity of hearing.
Final Conclusion: The assessee succeeded only to the extent of obtaining a remand for reconsideration of the penalty appeal in light of the statutory dispute-resolution scheme.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a special statutory dispute-resolution scheme is said to have caused deemed withdrawal of a pending appeal, and the relevant objections were not properly considered by the first appellate authority, the matter must be restored for fresh adjudication after giving due hearing.
