PER: BHAGCHAND, A.M. This is an appeal filed by the assessee emanates from the order of the ld. CIT(A), Bikaner dated 17/03/2015 for the A.Y. 2008-09, wherein the assessee has raised following grounds of appeal: “1. The ld. CIT(A) has erred in dismissing the appeal. 2. The selection of case for scrutiny was bad in law and facts.

ITA 354/JP/2017_ 2 Madhu Kotriwal L/H Jitendra Kotriwal Vs ITO

3.

Addition of Rs. 11,20,000/- on account of unexplained investment was bad in law and facts.

4.

Charging of interest U/s 234A, 234B of Rs. 1,55,655/- was bad in law and facts.”

2.

At the time of hearing, the ld AR of the assessee has submitted

that the issue raised in the appeal may be restored back to the file of

the Assessing Officer as the ld. CIT(A) has decided it ex parte.

3.

On the other hand, the ld DR has submitted that the issue may be

decided at the level of Hon’ble ITAT.

4.

I have heard both the sides on this issue. The ld. CIT(A) has

issued various notices but after notice dated 17/2/2014 where the date

of hearing was fixed on 26/2/2014 onwards, the comments of the post

office was left. Thus, this fact suggests that the notices issued for fixing

the hearing from 26/2/2014 onwards were not served on the assessee.

The ld. CIT(A) has passed an ex parte order. The ld AR during the

hearing has submitted that if the appeal is restored back to the file of

the ld. CIT(A) then the assessee will cooperate and appear before the

ld. CIT(A) and will also submit necessary documents/details on the

appointed date. In view of these pleadings and in the interest of justice

and equity, I restore the appeal back to the file of the ld. CIT(A) to be

ITA 354/JP/2017_ 3 Madhu Kotriwal L/H Jitendra Kotriwal Vs ITO

decided afresh on merits after providing reasonable and effective

opportunity of being heard to the assessee.

5.

In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical

purposes only.

Order pronounced in the open court on 23/11/2017.
