Karnal – 132 001, Haryana. PAN: ADMPS2025C (Appellant) (Respondent) Assessee by : None Revenue by : Shri Narpar Singh, Sr. DR Date of Hearing : 24.06.2025 Date of Pronouncement : 24.06.2025 ORDER PER ANUBHAV SHARMA, JM:
This appeal is preferred by the assessee against the order dated 28.08.2024 of the Ld. Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals), NFAC.
At the time of hearing, none appeared for the assessee. On going through the record we find that the appeal of the assessee is filed delayed by 144 days and an application for condonation of delay along with an affidavit has been filed deposing that the reason for filing the appeal late is attributed to the fact that the assessee’s son was living abroad and he was having access to the e-mail of the assessee. The reason appears to be justified. The application is allowed. Appeal is admitted for hearing.
