Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, AHMEDABAD “SMC” BENCH
Before: Shri Mahavir Prasad & Shri Amarjit Singh
Date of hearing : 26-11-2019 Date of pronouncement : 27-11-2019 आदेश/ORDER PER : AMARJIT SINGH, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER:-
This assessee’s appeal for A.Y. 2014-15, arises from order of the CIT(A)-2, Vadodara dated 30-01-2018, in proceedings under section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961; in short “the Act”.
At the time of hearing, none appeared on behalf of the appellant-assessee. Last opportunity of hearing was given to the assessee fixing the date of hearing on 26/11/2019. Despite this, the assessee remained unrepresented. In the aforementioned peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, in the absence of any Page No 2 Shyam Marketing Pvt. Ltd. vs. ITO representation on behalf of the assessee or petition seeking time, it can be safely presumed that the assessee is not serious in pursuing the appeal filed. Accordingly the only alternative left is to dismiss the appeal of the assessee in limine. Support is drawn from the order of the Tribunals in Commissioner of Income Tax vs. Multi Plan India (P) Ltd.; 38 ITD 320 (Del) and Estate of Late Tukojirao Holka vs. CWT: 223 ITR480 (M.P.).
Before parting, it is appropriate to add that in case the assessee is able to show that there was a reasonable cause for non-representation on the date of hearing, it would be at liberty if so advised to pray for a recall of this order.
In the result, the appeal of the Assessee is dismissed.
