आदेश/Order PER RAJESH DAMODARLAL SHARMA, J.M:
The captioned appeals for Assessment Year (AY) 2011-12 are quantum appeal as well as penalty appeal. ITA No.1578/Chd/2026 is quantum appeal which arises out of an order of ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), NFAC [CIT(A)] in the matter of an assessment as framed by Ld. AO u/s 143(3) r.w.s. 147 of the Act on 12.12.2018. 2. At the outset, it was brought to our notice that there is a delay of 379 days, in both the appeals. The Ld. AR has 2 1578-1579-Chd-2026 sought condonation of the same along with a prayer to remand back the appeal to lower authorities which has been opposed by Ld. Sr. DR. The Ld. AR stated that the assessee is in a position to substantiate its case on merits. It is the contention of Ld. AR that the assessee had submitted various documents and details before Ld. AO which were not considered by Ld. AO.
In the assessment order, Ld. AO made addition of cash deposit for Rs.12.54 Lacs since the assessee could not substantiate the source of the same. The Ld. CIT(A) endorsed the assessment for the same very reasons. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us.
We find force in the submissions of Ld. AR. Keeping in mind the principles of natural justice and considering the fact that the assessee may be in a position to substantiate the source of cash deposit, we admit the appeal and set aside the impugned order. The matter is restored back to Ld. AO for de novo assessment with a direction to the assessee to plead and prove its case forthwith. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes.
In ITA No. 1579/Chd/2026, the assessee assails confirmation of consequential penalty u/s 271(1)(c). Since
3 1578-1579-Chd-2026 quantum appeal has been restored back by us to Ld. AO, this appeal is also admitted and the matter is restored back to Ld. AO for fresh consideration in the light of outcome of quantum appeal. This appeal also stand allowed for statistical purposes.
Both the appeals stand allowed for statistical purposes.
