2020 (3) TMI 581 - HC - Wealth-taxMaintainability of appeal - monetary limit - low tax effect - HELD THAT:- Revenue contention that said Circular is prospective and cannot be made applicable to the pending matters, which we are not inclined to accept in the light of law laid down by Coordinate Bench of this Court in the case of COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX & ANOTHER V/S RANKA & RANKA [2011 (11) TMI 449 - KARNATAKA HIGH COURT] wherein it has been held that scope of Circular issued by Central Board of Direct Taxes would be applicable to the pending proceedings, which also came to be affirmed by Apex Court in the case DIRECTOR OF INCOME TAX V/S S.R.M.B DAIRY FARMING (P) LTD. [2017 (11) TMI 1494 - SUPREME COURT] . In fact, Central Board of Direct Taxes has also issued an instruction bearing No.F.No.279/MISC/M-93/2018-ITJ dated 20.08.2019 intimating all the Principal Chief Commissioners of Income Tax that Circular No.17/2019 would be applicable on all pending SLPs/appeals/cross objections/references. Hence, contention of learned counsel Sri.E.I.Sanmathi stands rejected. Present appeal as already noticed herein above, being an off shoot of common order passed by ITAT, this appeal also deserves to be dismissed. Accordingly, appeal stands dismissed as not maintainable
