Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, SMC BENCH, PUNE
Before: SHRI R.S. SYAL
आदेश / ORDER
PER R.S. SYAL, VP:
These two appeals by the assessee arise out of the ex parte orders dated 22-02-2023 passed by the CIT(A) in National Faceless Appeal Centre, Delhi u/s.250 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter also called ‘the Act’) in relation to the assessment years 2010-11 and 2011-12.
It is seen that the assessment orders in these cases were passed u/s.143(3) of the Act assessing total income at Rs.13,42,724/- and Rs.14,00,000/- as against the returned incomes at Rs.7,76,630/- and Rs.11,97,280/- respectively/-. The ld. CIT(A), in para 4 of the impugned orders, noted that the appellant was afforded opportunity through notices but no reply/response was received from the appellant. He, therefore presumed that the appellant had nothing to say in the matter. Accordingly, the ex-parte orders qua the assessee were passed dismissing the appeals. Considering the entirety of facts and circumstances, I am of the opinion that it would be just and fair if the impugned orders are set-aside and the matters are remitted to the file of ld. CIT(A) with a direction to decide the appeals 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 liberty to lead any fresh evidence in support of its point of view in the fresh assessments.
In the result, the appeals are allowed for statistical purposes.
Order pronounced in the Open Court on 16th May, 2023.
