2016 (1) TMI 1119 - HC - Income TaxApplication for waiver of pre-deposit - Tribunal, by the impugned judgment, entered into the merits of the case and reduced the penalty. - Held that:- It is true that in the past, we have disapproved the approach of the Tribunal to decide the appeals on merits while considering question of pre-deposit without going into such issue of pre-deposit. However, upon perusal of the documents on record, it emerges that the amount of penalty involved in this Tax Appeal is extremely small. Against the penalty of ₹ 80,000/- imposed by the lower authorities, the Tribunal, by the impugned judgment, reduced it to ₹ 16,000/-. Only on the question of smallness of amount involved, we are not inclined to entertain this Tax Appeal, making it clear that the question of law is kept open.
