GHANSHYAM JINDAL, JINNARAM MANDAL,MEDAK DIST vs. INCOME TAX OFFICER, WARD-1, SANGAREDDY

IN THE INCOME TAX APPELLATE TRIBUNAL HYDERABAD BENCHES “A” SMC BENCH: HYDERABAD BEFORE SHRI J. SUDHAKAR REDDY, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER ITA. No.1536/Hyd/2017 Assessment Year: 2012-2013 Ghanshyam Jindal, vs. Income Tax Officer, S.Y.No. 296/7/9, Ward-1, IDA Bollaram, Jinnaram, Sangareddy. Medak District – 502325. PAN: AFVPJ 3720 JL (Appellant) (Respondent) For Assessee: Shri S. Rama Rao For Revenue : Shri B. Suresh Babu, DR Date of Hearing : 08.05.2018 Date of Pronouncement : 08.05.2018 ORDER PER J. SUDHAKARA REDDY, AM.

This is an appeal filed by the assessee directed against the order of the Ld. CIT(A)-2, Hyderabad dated 29.06.2017 for the A.Y. 2012-2013 u/s 250 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (the Act). 2. After hearing the rival contentions, I find that the First Appellate Authority has passed an ex-parte order as the assessee could not appear before him on the date of hearing. The assessee has convinced me that he was prevented by sufficient cause from appearing before the Ld. CIT(A) on the date of hearing. Hence, in the interest of justice, I set aside this appeal to the file of the First Appellate Authority for fresh adjudication in accordance with law, after giving the assessee adequate opportunity of being heard. Hence, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
