Heard both the parties. Case file perused.

ITA 5324/DEL/2026 ARNAVI GREEN BUILDING MATERIALS PVT. LTD.

2.

Delay of 42 days in filing of the instant appeal is condoned

in the larger interest of justice in light of Collector Land

Acquisition vs. Mst. Katiji & Ors (1987) 167 ITR 471 (SC).

3.

It emerges at the outset during the course of hearing that

the learned CIT(A)/NFAC’s detailed discussion has proceeded ex-

parte against the assessee thereby affirming the Assessing

Officer’s action making the corresponding

disallowances/additions herein. Nor do we find any substantive

lower appellate adjudication as contemplated u/s 250(6) of the

Act requiring the CIT(A)/NFAC to first frame points of

determination followed by a detailed discussion thereupon.

4.

Learned senior departmental representative vehemently

argues during the course of hearing in support of CIT(A)’s finding

that the assessee had not filed any explanation or evidence

supporting it’s case and therefore, his instant appeal deserves to

be dismissed.

5.

I have given our thoughtful consideration to the foregoing

rival stand and are of the considered view that since the CIT(A)

has proceeded ex-parte against the assessee, possibility of some

communication gaps between the taxpayer and the arguing

ITA 5324/DEL/2026 ARNAVI GREEN BUILDING MATERIALS PVT. LTD.

counsel involving the newly introduced system of faceless

hearings, could not be altogether ruled out.

6.

Faced with this situation, in the larger interest of justice, I

deem it appropriate to restore the assessee’s instant appeal back

to the CIT(A)/NFAC for it’s afresh appropriate adjudication,

within three effective opportunities subject to a rider that the

taxpayer shall plead and prove the case at his own risk and

responsibility, in consequential proceedings. Ordered accordingly.

7.

This assessee’s appeal is allowed for statistical purposes.

Order pronounced in the open court on 7th July, 2026.
