This appeal by the assessee is arising out of the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi in order

2017-18 u/s.143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter the ‘Act’), vide order dated 26.12.2019. 2. We have heard the rival contentions and perused the material on record. We found that the ld. CIT(A) has issued notices on four occasions and the assessee did not respond, hence, the ld. CIT(A) has dismissed the appeal ex-parte on the merits of the grounds of appeal raised by the assessee.
3. We are of the considered view that in the interest of justice assessee should be given one more opportunity before ld.CIT(A) to file all relevant evidences/documents to prosecute his case. Therefore, in the light of aforesaid factual position and for the substantial justice, we deem it fit to set aside this appeal to the file of ld.CIT(A) for denovo adjudication of appeal. The Ld.CIT(A) who shall proceed for denovo adjudication of appeal after providing proper opportunity of hearing to the assessee. The assessee is directed to substantiate its case forthwith without any fail, failing which Ld.CIT(A) shall be at liberty to proceed with the appellate proceedings as per law.
4. In the result, appeal filed by the assessee is allowed for statistical purpose.
