At the time of hearing, Id. AR of the assessee brought to my notice that the assessment order passed by the Assessing Officer u/s 143(3) r.w.s. 147 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (in short "Act") was passed ex-parte for the reasons that assessee had not made any

compliance for the various statutory notices issued by him. Accordingly, assessment was completed u/s 143(3) of the Act. Further, he submitted that aggrieved with the above order, the assessee preferred an appeal before Ld. CIT(Appeals). However, even before Ld. CIT (Appeals) the assessee has not complied to various notices issued for hearing, neither filed any reply. Further he submitted that assessee being uneducated and hailing from humble background necessary action was not taken and also failed to follow up the same from his counsel. Accordingly, he prayed that the appeal may be remitted back to the Assessing Officer to re-do the assessment with proper facts available on record.

the lower authorities, however, he has not objection to remit this issue back to the file of Ld CIT(A). 6. Considered the rival submissions and material placed on record. We observed that the Ld. CIT(A) has dismissed the appeal of the assessee due to non prosecution and non cooperation from the assessee side. Since the Ld CIT(A) had not addressed the issue on merits and also the assessee was not given opportunity to place the relevant record to make his case, we are inclined to remit these cases back to the file of CIT(A) with the direction to give one more opportunity to the assessee for the sake of overall justice. It is needless to say that the assessee may be given proper opportunity of being heard. 7. In the result, the appeals filed by the assessee are allowed for statistical purpose.

Order pronounced in the open court on 21.04.2026.
