adjournment petition and admit the appeal for hearing. Shri Charan Dass, ld Sr DR appeared for the revenue.

3.

We have heard ld Sr DR and perused the record of the case. A perusal of the impugned order shows that the ld CIT(A) has dismissed the appeal due to non-compliance of notices issued to the assessee. It is noticed that the ld CIT(A) has given four opportunities to the assessee, as is evident from the page 5 of the order, to represent his case with documentary evidences. As no compliance was made, the ld CIT(A) dismissed the appeal due to non-representation by the assessee. As the issue in the appeal relates to confirmation of penalty imposed u/s.271(1)(c), in the interest of justice and to give more opportunity to the assessee to represent his case, the issue in this appeal is restored to the file of the ld CIT(A) for fresh consideration after giving due opportunity of hearing to the assessee. If the assessee fails to appear in the set aside proceedings, liberty is also given to the ld CIT(A), to decide the appeal on merits as per law.

4.

In the result, appeal of the assessee stands partly allowed for statistical purposes. .
