At the outset, the ld. counsel for the assessee has submitted that an impugned order of the CIT(A) is an ex parte order.

The ld. counsel has further submitted that taking into consideration the interest of justice, the assessee may be given an opportunity of hearing before the CIT(A). A separate undertaking in the affidavit has also been filed by Shri Onkar Sharan Singh, director of the assessee company that if given a chance, the assessee company would comply or cooperate during the hearing. The ld. counsel, therefore, has submitted that the matter be restored to the file of the CIT(A).

The ld. DR has not objected to the same.

In view of the above, the impugned order of the CIT(A) is set aside and the matter is restored to the CIT(A) with a direction to decide the issue involved in this appeal afresh in accordance with law after giving appropriate opportunity to the assessee to present its case. 5. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is treated as allowed for statistical purposes. Kolkata, the 6th June, 2022.
