Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, CUTTACK BENCH CUTTACK
Before: SHRI GEORGE MATHAN & SHRI MANISH AGARWAL
Per Bench : This is an appeal filed by the assessee against the order dated 09/06/2023, passed by the CIT(A), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi in DIN & Order No.ITBA/NFAC/S/250/2023- 24/1053640353(1) for the assessment year 2016-2017. 2. It was the submission by the ld. AR that the assessee is a partner in the partnership firm, who is doing business of construction and transportation. It was the submission that the assessee had purchased certain immovable properties during the relevant assessment year. The AO has asked the assessee to provide certain information by 07.12.2018 as is mentioned in page 2 of the assessment order. It was the submission that the assessee had duly complied with the same but could not able to produce the documentary evidence in support of his claim. It was the 2 submission that the AO did not grant the assessee any further time to produce the evidence and it was the prayer that the issues may be restored to the file of ld. AO so that the assessee could comply all the direction. It was the further submission that on appeal, the ld. CIT(A) dismissed the appeal of the assessee ex-parte. It was the submission that the issues may be restored to the file of AO for readjudication.
In reply, ld. Sr. DR vehemently supported the order of the ld. CIT(A) and the ld. AO. It was the submission that restoring the matter to the file of AO would be, in fact, giving the assessee a second round which should not be granted.
We have considered the rival submissions. A perusal of the assessment order page 2 shows that the AO has asked for certain details. A perusal of the page 3 of the assessment order shows that there was only part finding of the production of the details. This being so, in the interest of justice, the issues in this appeal are restored to the file of the ld. AO for readjudication after granting the assessee adequate opportunities to substantiate its claim.
In the result, appeal of the assessee is partly allowed for statistical purposes. Order dictated and pronounced in the open court on 24/04/2024.
