PER SHRI N.S. SAINI, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER:

The present stay petition is filed on 02.01.2015 (in ITA No.771/Ahd/2014 for AY 2009-10 and in SP No.84/Ahd/2014) by the applicant-assessee to extend the stay granted by this Tribunal (ITAT "D" Bench, Ahmedabad) vide order dated 01.10.2014.

2. The Authorized Representative of the assessee submitted that this Tribunal was pleased to grant the stay vide order dated 01.10.2014 for a period of three months. The stay has expired on 01.01.2015. He submitted that the assessee has already deposited the amount of Rs.1,15,00,000/- on 21.03.2014. He further submitted that the appeal could not be disposed of by the Tribunal for no fault of SP No. 01/Ahd/2015 in ITA No.771/Ahd/2014 AY 2009-10 Allscripts (India) Pvt Ltd v. DCIT -2-

the assessee and, therefore, urged that the stay granted on 01.10.2014 may kindly be extended. He further submitted that the hearing of the appeal i.e. ITA No.771/Ahd/2014 for AY 2009-10, has already been fixed for 03.03.2015.

3. On the other hand, the Departmental Representative vehemently opposed the stay petition and submitted that the assessee should be directed to deposit the entire outstanding dues.

4. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the material on record. In the instant case, we find that the total tax demand of Rs.1,63,62,980/-, which consists of Rs.1,09,65,899/- towards tax and Rs.53,97,081/- towards interest; and out of this total tax demand of Rs.1,63,62,980/-, Rs.1,15,00,000/- was already deposited by the assessee on 21.03.2014. Further, in view of the fact that there is no fault on the part of the assessee in the appeal being not disposed of by the Tribunal, we are of the view that the stay should be extended. We, therefore, grant the extension of stay of demand for a further period of 6 months or till the disposal of the appeal, whichever is earlier. The appeal is fixed for hearing on 03.03.2015. This date of hearing is duly communicated to both the sides in the Court; hence, notice of hearing is dispensed with. Assessee shall not seek any adjournment of the date of hearing.

5. In the result, the stay application filed by the assessee is allowed.

Order pronounced in the Court on Friday, the 16th of January, 2015 at Ahmedabad.
