We have perused the application, the assessment order, appellate order of the learned Commissioner of Income Tax and the order of the learned Tribunal 2 dated 01.04.2024 for the Assessment Year 2011-2012. We do not find any reason to entertain this appeal where the appellant has not clearly suggested which exceptional clause as read in para 3.1(h) as per CBDT Circular No.5 of 2024 dated 15th March, 2024 is applicable in the present appeal. As such, this appeal and the connected application being GA/2/2026 are dismissed as the tax effect in this matter is below Rs. 2 crores. (RAJARSHI BHARADWAJ, J.) (UDAY KUMAR, J.) B.Pal
