The appellant has settled the dispute under Vivad se Vishwas in an assessment year. Whether it is open for Revenue to take a stand that the additions have been accepted by the appellant and hence he cannot dispute it in future assessment years?

It has been clarified in Explanation to clause 5 that making a declaration under Vivad se Vishwas shall not amount to conceding the tax position and it shall not be lawful for the income-tax authority or the declarant being a part in appeal or writ or in SLP to contend that the declarant or the income tax authority, as the case may be, has acquiesced in the decision on the disputed issue by settling the dispute.
