Before: Shri Rajpal Yadav & Shri Amarjit Singh

For Respondent: Shri Mudit Nagpal, Sr. D.R

आदेश/ORDER PER : AMARJIT SINGH, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER:-

This assessee’s appeal for A.Y. 2014-15, arises from order of the CIT(A)-7, Ahmedabad dated 03-11-2017, in proceedings under section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961; in short “the Act”.

I.T.A No. 167/Ahd/2018 A.Y. 2014-2015 Page No 2 Palex Express Services Pvt. Ltd. vs. ITO

aforementioned peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, in the absence of any 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.).

4.

In the result, the appeal of the Assessee is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open court on 10-04-2019
