Issues:
1. Recall of order based on CBDT Circular monetary limits for filing appeals by Revenue.
2. Validity of reopening assessment based on Revenue Audit Objection.
3. Proper procedure for filing appeals before the Tribunal.

Analysis:
1. The Revenue filed a Miscellaneous Application seeking to recall the Tribunal's order dismissing their appeal in a case where the tax effect was below the CBDT-prescribed monetary limits. The Revenue argued that the assessment was reopened based on a Revenue Audit Objection, falling within an exception in the Circular. The AR contended that while reopening assessment might be valid, filing appeals should be based on merits, citing a Kolkata Tribunal decision.

2. The Tribunal considered the Revenue's arguments and examined the materials, including the Revenue Audit Objection triggering reassessment. The assessment was completed under section 143(3) r.w.s.147, but the CIT(A) quashed it due to errors in framing it in the name of a non-existent entity. The Revenue appealed this decision, which was dismissed initially due to monetary limits set by the CBDT Circulars.

3. The Tribunal analyzed the relevant Circulars and exceptions, concluding that if a case falls within an exception, the monetary limits for appeals do not apply. The Tribunal emphasized that during Miscellaneous Application proceedings, the Tribunal's scope is limited, and the basis for Revenue's appeal should not be challenged. Since the Revenue Audit Objection triggered reassessment and fell under the Circular's exception, the Tribunal allowed the Miscellaneous Application, recalling the previous order and directing the appeal to proceed.

In conclusion, the Tribunal allowed the Revenue's Miscellaneous Application, emphasizing adherence to Circular exceptions and proper procedures for filing appeals, ultimately recalling the previous order and directing the main appeal to proceed in regular course.
