In the course of hearing, it was observed that the CIT(A) has dismissed the appeal only on technical grounds for not accepting the reasons for condonation of delay in filing the appeal before him, where as we observe from the order of the CIT(A) that there was a sufficient reason for delay as the assessee waws busy in reviving his business, therefore we condone the delay. We deem it fit and proper in the interest of justice, the matter may be restored to the file of :- 2 -: Pasham Laxmi Srinivas Reddy, Sec.bad.
CIT(A) for deciding various grounds of appeal on merits. The learned DR agreed.
We have considered the facts of the case. We are of the view that interest of justice will be served if the matter is restored to the file of first appellate authority for deciding various grounds of appeal
of the assessee on merits. Accordingly, the CIT(A) is directed to afford reasonable opportunity of being heard to the assessee and thereafter decide the appeal on merits. We direct the assessee to appear before CIT(A) with all the relevant evidences; at his own risk and responsibility to be followed by three effective opportunities of hearing.
