MADHURIKA JAIN ,DELHI vs. ITO, WARD 36(3), NEW DELHI

At the outset, Ms. Khushboo, appeared on behalf of the assessee and pleaded that the impugned order of the AO as well as the ld. CIT(A) is ex- parte order. She has further invited my attention to the impugned order of the Ld. CIT(A) to submit that the letter of adjournment was filed before the ld. CIT(A) but despite request of the ld. counsel for the assessee, the ld. CIT(A) proceeded to pass the impugned appellate order. Therefore, she has submitted that in the interest of justice, the assessee may be given opportunity to present her case before the AO.

The Ld. DR has not objected to the same. 4. In view of this, the impugned order of the ld. CIT(A) is set-aside and the matter is restored to the file of the AO for denovo adjudication. 5. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the open Court on 22.06.2022.
