Summary:

Issue of Maintainability of Appeal:
The Appellate Tribunal, in a Miscellaneous Application filed by the Revenue, addressed the issue of the appeal's maintainability after the assessee company was dissolved by the High Court of Gujarat. The Revenue sought to recall and modify the order dismissing their appeal, citing precedents such as the case of CIT vs. M/s. Gopal Shri Scrips Pvt. Ltd. where it was held that proceedings can continue even after a company is struck off. However, the Tribunal noted that in the present case, the company was dissolved under section 481 of the Companies Act, which differs from cases where the company's name is struck off from the register. The Tribunal emphasized that it cannot review its own order under section 254 of the Act and dismissed the Revenue's application, stating that re-arguing the appeal with new grounds and case laws is not permitted.

In conclusion, the Miscellaneous Application filed by the Revenue regarding the maintainability of the appeal was dismissed by the Tribunal. The order was pronounced in the open court on 24-04-2023.
