What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal restored the issues in both appeals to the file of the CIT(A) for re-adjudication. The CIT(A) was directed to grant the assessee an adequate opportunity of being heard and the assessee was directed to cooperate.

The assessee filed appeals against ex parte orders passed by the CIT(A) for assessment years 2012-13 and 2013-14. The assessee had failed to produce necessary details and documents before the CIT(A).

What were the issues?

Whether the CIT(A) orders passed ex parte without granting adequate opportunity to the assessee are sustainable.

ITA No.1679&1707/Kol/2025

A perusal of the order of the ld. CIT(A) clearly shows that the ld. CIT(A) has passed ex parte orders and the assessee failed to produce details/documents before the ld. CIT(A). This being so, in the interest of justice, the issues in both the appeals are restored to the file of the ld. CIT(A) for re-adjudication after granting adequate opportunity of being heard to the assessee. The assessee is directed to positively cooperate during the set aside proceedings.

In the result, the appeals of the assessee are partly allowed for statistical purposes.

Order pronounced in the open court on 13/07/2026.
