Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, GUWAHATI BENCH “SMC” GUWAHATI

Before: Shri S.S, Godara

These nineteen assessees’ have filed their instant appeal(s) in the above stated specified assessment year(s) 2009-10 to 15-16 against the Commissioner of Income- tax (Appeals) respective order(s) involving proceedings u/s. 143(3) 143(3), r.w.s. 147, 153A r.w.s. 143(3) and Sec. 154 r.w.s. 143(3) as the case may be of the Income Tax Act, 1961; in short ‘the Act’.

2.

I notice at the outset that in ITA No.182/Gau/2019 suffers from a delay of seventy days in filing. The assessee has filed a condonaton petition stating reasons thereof to circumstances beyond control. The Revenue fails to dispute all these solemn averments. I therefore condone the impugned delay of seventy days as neither intentional nor deliberate. The same stands condoned. The main case is now taken up for adjudication on merits.

I have heard the learned departmental representative and gone through the assessees’ grievance(s) raised in their respective cases.

3.

It transpires during the course of hearing that the CIT(A)’s order(s) under challenge in all these cases have been passed ex parte whilst affirming the Assessing Officer’s action(s) making various disallowance(s) / addition(s). Learned departmental representative fails to dispute that the CIT(A)’s orders under challenge nowhere deal with merits of the issue(s) requiring framing of points of determination followed by a detailed adjudication as contemplated u/s.250(6) of the Act. I therefore deem it appropriate that larger interest of justice would be served in case all the issues raised herein at assessees’ behest are restored back to the CIT(A) for afresh adjudication as per law within three effective opportunities of hearing. I order accordingly. Consequential lower appellate proceedings to follow as per law.

These assessees’ appeal(s) are allowed for statistical purposes in foregoing terms. A copy of this common order be placed in the respective case file(s).
