Can the Income Tax Department appeal against the order of the commissioner(Appeal)

Recently I came across a very Interesting case where an assesee appeals before the Commissioner (Appeal) of Income Tax being aggrieved by the Assessment order passed by the concerned ITO.
The appeal was admitted and heard by the commissioner and it provided all the relief quashing the orders of the ITO.
Now against the orders passed by their own Commissioner Appeal, the Department has taken the case before the Tribunal.
My query is against whom the department is pursuing the case, The Concerned ITO or his superior Commissioner (Appeal)? And why?
1. The power to appeal should have been rested only with the aggrieved Assesee not with the department
2. If the department takes this case further then they should either remove the post of ITO or of the Commissioner, because it shows they have no faith in their own senior officer who have quashed the order of his junior.
So I solicit all the valuable opinion in this matter.

Consumer rights

At the time of selling a Plasma Telivision set, the dealer of a reputed company Verbaly explaind that the model, which he suggests is havig a newer/latest technology panel having a (NEO PDP) panel instead of the older Plasma panel.
The Set is covered under three years (03)warranty.
whereas on getting the delivery it was noticed that no where it was mentioned that it is a (NEO PDP) panel set. and the warranty card supplied along with the set is for one year only.
On making the complaint to the Dealer and the company they refused and did't responded save & except the company has admitted that it's a non NEO PDP set.
Can I compell the company to change the set with a NEO PDP model set? if yes how?

Third party liability of an Insurance company

The Insurance company is denying its Third party liability to the accident victim, on the ground that the owner of the truck, causing the accident to the victim, had expired prior to issuing the Policy for the truck, thus the policy issued to the Truck becomes void.

Can the insurance company deny their Liability?
