Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2012- 13 arises out of an order of learned Addl. / Joint Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-6, Kolkata [CIT(A)] dated 24.11.2025 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing Officer [AO] on best judgment basis u/s 143(3) r.w.s. 147 of the Act on 18.12.2019. In the assessment order, Ld. AO made addition of unexplained investment for Rs.19.06 Lacs for want of any substantive representation from the assessee. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed partial addition of Rs.16.35 Lacs which represent gifts received and sale of jewellery. Aggrieved, the
assessee is in further appeal before Tribunal. At the time of hearing, none appeared for assessee. The Ld. Sr. DR pleaded for dismissal of the appeal. 2. Keeping in mind the principles of natural justice, I deem it fit to grant another opportunity of hearing to the assessee to substantiate its case before Ld. CIT(A). Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the matter is restored back to the file of Ld. CIT(A) for fresh adjudication of addition of Rs.16.35 Lacs. The assessee is directed to plead and prove its case forthwith. 3. The appeal stands allowed for statistical purpose. Order pronounced on 09th July, 2026.
