2.

On hearing both the sides, we find that amongst other grounds on merits, the assessee has raised a ground of not being given an opportunity of hearing as per law. The ld. AR has pointed out that in response to the notices issued, the assessee had sought adjournment for filing the evidences but was not ITAs No.1648 to 1655/Del/2025 accomodated. Although the ld. DR has vehemently defended the impugned order submitting that due notices were issued, we observe that the ld.CIT(A) observes in the order that nobody appeared in response to the notices while, admittedly, the assessee had filed adjournment application and sought opportunity for filing the evidences. Then without any reasonable cause being cited to proceed to decide the appeal, exparte, the impugned order was passed.
