आदेश / O R D E R
Per George Mathan, JM:
These are the appeals filed by the assessee against the order passed by the ld.CIT(A), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi, dated 04.07.2025 for the assessment year 2015-2016. 2. During the course of hearing, it was submitted by the ld. AR that the ld. CIT(A) has dismissed the appeals of the assessee ex-parte. It was the prayer that the matter may be restored to the file of ld. AO to decide the issue involved in the appeal afresh so that the assessee could be able to produce all the evidence to substantiate its claim.
3. In reply, ld Sr DR vehemently supported the orders of the Assessing
Officer and ld. CIT(A).
4. We have considered the rival submissions. As it is noticed from the orders of the authorities below that the assessee could not substantiate its claim by providing relevant documents. Even the assessee was also failed
ITANos.2135-2136/Kol/2025
2
to produce the evidences as required by the ld. CIT(A) and in absence of the same, the ld. CIT(A) has dismissed the appeal of the assessee.
However, the ld. AR has made a request before the Bench that if the assessee is given one more opportunity to represent its case before the ld.
AO, the assessee could be able to provide all the details before the ld.
Assessing Officer to substantiate its claim. This being so, in the interest of justice, we grant the assessee one more opportunity to substantiate its claim before the ld. AO by restoring the issues in all the three appeals to the file of ld. AO for adjudicating afresh after providing the assessee adequate opportunity of being heard. Should the assessee not cooperate with the AO in the setting aside proceedings, the AO is at liberty to draw adverse inference.
5. In the result, all the three appeals of the assessee are partly allowed for statistical purposes.
Order dictated and pronounced in the open court on 24/11/2025. (RAKESH MISHRA) (GEORGE MATHAN)
