Per Pradip Kumar Choubey, JM:
This is the appeal preferred by the assessee against the order of learned
Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)- 20, Kolkata (hereinafter referred to as the Ld.
CIT(A)] dated 26.06.2024 for AY 2011-12. 2

Shri Subrata Banik
It appears from the report of the registry that the appeal has been filed after a delay of 265 days for this the assessee has filed condonation petition., which are as follows-
I.T.A. No. 1034/Kol/2025
Assessment Year: 2011-12
Shri Subrata Banik
On perusal of the condonation petition, the reason for delay in filing the appeal seems to be genuine and bonafide. The Ld. D.R did not raise any objection in condoning the delay. Keeping in view, the condonation petition as well as judicial pronouncement that the case should be decided on merit not on technical issue, the delay is hereby condoned.
3. Brief facts of the case of the assessee are that the assessee filed return of income declaring total income of Rs. 3,92,82,110/-. The case of the assessee was selected for scrutiny. Notices u/s 143(2) was issued and assessment was completed on 30.03.2014. A notice u/s 148 was also issued to the assessee after recording his reasons as scrutiny of records reveals that there was a difference in value of some of the items of the inventories, closing stocks between value of closing stock considered in the profit and loss account and the value of inventories hypothetically of State Bank of India commercial branch, Kolkata. The AO, going over the records, assessed the total income of the assessee as under:
Aggrieved by the said order, the assessee preferred an appeal before the Ld. CIT(A) wherein the appeal of the assessee has been dismissed as there was no response from the side of the assessee.
Being aggrieved and dissatisfied the assessee preferred an appeal before us.
I.T.A. No. 1034/Kol/2025

Shri Subrata Banik
The Ld. A.R instead of arguing into the merit of the case has only prayed that the appeal should be remitted back to the file of Ld. CIT(A) for fresh adjudication after affording an opportunity to the assessee to place his case. 6. The Ld. D.R did not raise any objection in remitting the appeal back to the file of Ld. CIT(A). 7. Upon hearing the submission of the counsel of the respective parties and on perusal of the order of Ld. CIT(A), we find that the appeal of the assessee has been dismissed as the assessee has failed to offer any explanation or submission in support of grounds raised by the assessee in this appeal. There was no discussion on the merit of the case. Keeping in view the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A), considering the submission made by the assessee and for the interest of justice, we are inclined to restore the appeal of the assessee before the Ld. CIT(A) for fresh adjudication. In the result, the appeal filed by the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
Order is pronounced in the open court on 3rd July, 2025 (Rakesh Mishra /राकेश ͧमĮ) (Pradip Kumar Choubey /Ĥदȣप कुमार चौबे)
