Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Hyderabad ‘ A ‘ Bench, Hyderabad
Before: Smt. P. Madhavi Devi & Shri A. Mohan Alankamony
Per Smt. P. Madhavi Devi, J.M.
This is assessee’s appeal for the A.Y 2012-13 against the order of the CIT (A)-5, Hyderabad, dated 28.9.2018.
The assessee had filed an application for an early hearing of the appeal. At the time of hearing, it is submitted that the CIT (A) has dismissed the appeal for non-representation of the case by the assessee and has not decided the issue on merits. Upon hearing both the parties and upon perusal of the record, we notice that the CIT (A) has dismissed the appeal for non- appearance of the assessee and has not decided the same on merits. Therefore, we are inclined to set aside the appeal to the file of the CIT (A) with a direction to dispose of the appeal on merits after giving the assessee a fair opportunity of hearing. Page 1 of 2
