PER S.S. VISWANETHRA RAVI, JUDICIAL MEMBER:
This appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the order dated 18.10.2024 passed by the ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi for the assessment year 2015-16.
When the appeal was taken up for hearing, none appeared on behalf of the assessee nor filed any adjournment petition. Moreover, on perusal of the records, we note that the assessee has also not filed Vakkalath/power of Attorney authorising any Advocate/ C.A to represent the case.
Further, we find that this appeal is filed with a delay of 189 days, but, however, no petition for condonation of delay in support of an affidavit is filed to condone the delay. Thus, the appeal filed by the assessee is not maintainable and dismissed the same accordingly.
In the result, the appeal filed by the assessee is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open Court on 17th September, 2025 at Chennai.
