By way of captioned stay petition, the assessee seeks recovery of outstanding demand for Assessment Year (AY) 2017-18. The Ld. AR submitted that the assessment order as well as appellate order is ex- parte orders. The Ld. AR submitted that deposits in the bank account was nothing but gifts received by the assessee from relatives and therefore, the same could not be added in the hands of the assessee. In the said background, Ld. AR prayed for stay of recovery of outstanding demand and also sought another opportunity of hearing before lower authorities.
The Ld. Sr. DR, on the other hand, submitted that the assessee failed to attend proceedings before lower authorities and therefore, the assessee do not deserve any stay. However, Ld. Sr. DR concurred that the appeal itself may be disposed-off by issuing appropriate directions. 3. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, it is evident that impugned order is not a speaking order and the appeal has been dismissed for want of sufficient evidences from assessee. The assessee has not filed return of income and did not attend assessment proceedings as well as appellate proceedings. Keeping in mind the principle of natural justice, we deem it fit to provide another opportunity of hearing to the assessee. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the assessment is restored back to the file of Ld. AO. The Ld. AO shall make de-novo assessment and the assessee is directed to substantiate its claim. 4. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes. The stay application stand dismissed as infructuous. Order pronounced on 20th October, 2023.
