     O R D E R U/S 254(2) r.w.s.254(1) OF THE INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Per Sanjay Arora (A M):-

      Against the order passed u/s. 264 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, assessee
preferred an appeal before the Tribunal. While passing an ex-parte order, we
overlooked the fact that there is no right of appeal provided under the statute
against the order passed u/s. 264 of the Act. In fact a party to litigation can move to
an appropriate forum only when the statute provides for such a right. As can be
noticed from section 253 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 an order passed by the
Commissioner of Income Tax (`CIT') u/s. 264 of the Act is not appealable before
the Appellate Tribunal.






2.    However, this issue escaped the attention of the bench; while passing the
order on 16.01.2015 the bench entertained the appeal and disposed of the issue/s on
merits. Since entertaining the appeal against the order passed u/s. 264 of the Act is
a mistake apparent from record, in exercise of the powers vested in us u/s. 254(2)
of the Act, the bench hereby recalls the order dated 16.01.2015; we hold that the
                                             2
                                                                      ITA No. 1895 /Mum/11







appeal filed by the assessee deserves to be dismissed as not admitted, since there is
no statutory right to file an appeal against the order passed u/s. 264 of the Act.

3.        In the result, the order dated 16.01.2015 is recalled/rectified and the appeal
filed by the assessee is dismissed.
                      Order pronounced accordingly on 12.06.2015
