assessee. He submitted that the Assessing officer has passed assessment order u/s.144 of the Act. He prayed to remit the matter back to the file of the AO for fresh consideration of the issues in this appeal.
In reply, ld Sr DR supported the order of the AO and ld CIT(A).
We have considered the rival submissions. A perusal of the impugned order clearly shows that the ld CIT(A) has issued five notices, as is evident from the order of the ld CIT(A) at page 4. As the documentary evidences in support of the claim were not furnished and due to non- compliance to the notices, the ld CIT(A) has passed the exparte order. Now, ld AR has undertaken before us that if one more opportunity is granted, the assessee would be in a position to file the documentary evidences in support of the claim before the Assessing officer. We also find that the assessment in this case has been passed u/s.144 due to non- representation of the assessee before the Assessing Officer. Therefore, in the interest of justice, we set aside the order of the ld CIT(A) and remit the matter back to the file of the Assessing Officer to readjudicate the issue after affording reasonable opportunities of hearing to the assessee, subject to cost of Rs.2,000/- (Rupees two Thousand only) to be deposited within 60 days from the date of this order under the head “others” in ITNS challan 280 in the Account No.500. In the event the cost is not paid, the order passed by the ld CIT(A) and that of the AO would stand confirmed.
