2 ITA No. 410/VIZ/2019 (Ganesh Kumar Vasupalli)
So far as merits of the case is concerned, ld.AR has submitted that before the ld. CIT(A) he requested to adjourn the appeal, however, ld. CIT(A) without considering the request, passed exparte order. Thus, he submitted that order of the ld.CIT(A) may be set aside and remit the matter back to the file of the ld. CIT(A) to appear before him. 4. On the other hand, ld.DR relied on the orders of the authorities below. 5. We have considered the request made by the assessee and find that the order passed by the ld. CIT(A) is an exparte order. In the interest of justice and also by considering the principles of natural justice, one more opportunity should be given to the assessee. Thus, the order of the ld. CIT(A) is set aside and remit the matter back to him to decide the appeal on merits after hearing the assessee. The assessee is also directed to appear before the ld. CIT(A) on the date given for hearing without fail. Thus, this appeal filed by the assessee is allowed for statistical purpose.
