Facts
The assessee's appeal was against the CIT(A)'s order upholding the AO's assessment, which was based on a previous set-aside order of the Tribunal. The assessee had initially failed to comply with the Tribunal's cost order, leading to the AO's assessment being upheld.
Held
The Tribunal found that while the assessee had belatedly complied with the cost order and the Tribunal had extended the time for compliance, the assessee failed to inform the CIT(A) of this extension. Despite this, the Tribunal held that the AO's order, which did not consider the merits due to non-compliance, needed to be revisited.
Key Issues
Whether the CIT(A) erred in upholding the AO's order without considering the merits due to non-compliance with the Tribunal's cost order, especially when the Tribunal had later extended the compliance period.
