Principal Commissioner Of CGST And Central Excise vs. Ms Sbw Udyog Limited

Held

The Court granted leave to withdraw the appeal. The reasoning provided is that the appellant sought withdrawal based on a CBIC circular stipulating a threshold limit of rupees one crore for tax amounts involved in appeals. The Court accepted this ground for withdrawal. The appeal was disposed of as withdrawn. The Court expressly left the question of law open, meaning this withdrawal does not set a precedent on the substantive legal issues that might have been argued had the appeal proceeded.
