Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, PUNE BENCH “SMC”, PUNE
Before: SHRI R.S. SYAL
Assessee by S/Shri B.C. Malakar and Yuvraj Bhandari Revenue by Shri Rajesh Gawali Date of hearing 31-10-2023 Date of pronouncement 31-10-2023 आदेश / ORDER PER R.S. SYAL, VP : This appeal by the assessee is directed against the order dated 31.07.2023 passed by the CIT(A) in relation to assessment year 2018-19. 2. The assessee in this appeal is aggrieved by certain additions confirmed in the first appeal.
Shri Devendra Swarupchand Shingavi
The factual matrix of the case is that the assessee filed his return declaring total income at Rs.15,49,110/-. The assessment was completed at total income of Rs.28,14,210/-. The assessee preferred first appeal before the ld. CIT(A), which came to be dismissed ex parte qua the assessee.
I have heard the rival contentions and perused the relevant material on record. It is seen that the ld. CIT(A) passed the impugned order ex parte. The ld. AR submitted that the assessee was prevented by sufficient cause from putting in appearance during the first appellate proceedings. He requested for a fresh opportunity of hearing. In view of the above factual background prevailing in the extant case, I am of the opinion that it would be just and fair if the impugned order is set-aside and the matter is remitted to the file of the ld. CIT(A) with a direction to pass order afresh as per law after allowing a reasonable opportunity of hearing to the assessee. I order accordingly. Needless to say, the assessee will be at Shri Devendra Swarupchand Shingavi liberty to lead any fresh evidence in support of his point of view in the fresh appellate proceedings. 5. In the result, appeal is allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the Open Court on 31st October, 2023.
