At the time of hearing, none appeared for the assessee and we find that an adjournment is sought by e-mail. On going through the record, we find that in the impugned orders, CIT(A)/NFAC does not even mention as to how and by what mode notices were issued and summarily the appeals of the assessee were ITAs No.1938 & 1939/Del/2025 dismissed giving no finding on the merits. The impugned orders of the CIT(A)/NFAC are set aside. The appeals of the assessee are allowed for statistical purposes. The issues on merits as well as on law are remitted to the files of the NFAC/CIT(A) to be decided afresh, after serving due notice of hearing on the assessee.
