Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, PATNA BENCH, PATNA
Before: SHRI CHANDRA MOHAN GARG, JM & SHRI L.P.SAHU, AM
Per Bench: This appeal is filed by the assessee assailing the order of Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Jamshedpur, dated 11.05.2018 for the assessment year 2014-2015. 2. As per the office note, there is a delay in filing the present appeal. The assessee has filed an application for condonation of delay. We have gone through the application of the assessee and found that there is sufficient cause for delay in filing the present appeal by the assessee. Ld. DR has no objection for condonation of delay. Accordingly, we condone the delay and appeal is heard finally.
None appeared on behalf of the assessee even the case was called for second round of hearing. Therefore, we proceeded to dispose off the 2 appeal of the assessee after considering the submissions of ld.DR and the material evidence available on record.
On careful consideration of the submissions of ld. DR and perusing the relevant material placed in the record of the Tribunal along with the orders of both the authorities below, at the outset, we find that the ld. CIT(A) has passed the impugned order ex-parte. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and in the interest of justice and fair-play, there will be no prejudice to the Revenue if one more opportunity be granted to the assessee to represent its case before the CIT(A). Accordingly, we restore the appeal of the assessee to the file of CIT(A) to pass a speaking and reasoned order considering the findings of Assessing Officer and submissions of the assessee, after providing sufficient opportunity of hearing to the assessee. The assessee is also directed to cooperate with the CIT(A) positively for early disposal of the case.
In the result, appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the open court on 19/09/2019.
