आदेश/ORDER
Per Sanjay Garg, Judicial Member:
The present appeal has been filed by the Assessee against the order passed by the Learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemption), Ahmedabad [hereinafter referred to as “CIT(E)’] dated 21.11.2024 u/s. 80G(5) of the Income Tax
Act, 1961 (here-in-after referred to as “the Act”) relevant to the Assessment Year 2024-25. 2. The assessee in this case is aggrieved by the action of the ld. CIT(E) in rejecting the application of the assessee for registration u/s. 80G of the Income Tax Act.
Assessment Year 2024-25
I.T.A No. 122/Ahd/2025

At the outset, the ld. counsel for the assessee has drawn our attention to the impugned order of the ld. CIT(E) to submit that the same is an ex-parte order of the CIT(E). The ld. counsel has submitted that, in fact, the assessee had requested for an adjournment on 21 Nov, 2021, which perhaps did not come to notice of the ld. CIT(E) and he proceeded to pass ex-parte order rejecting the application of the assessee for registration u/s. 80G of the Income Tax Act.
We are of the view that the interests of justice will be well served, if the assessee is given an opportunity to present his case before ld. CIT(E). Accordingly, the impugned order of the Ld.CIT(E) is set aside and the matter is restored to the file of CIT(E). The ld. CIT(E) will give proper opportunity to assessee present its case and thereafter will decide the matter in accordance with law.
The appeal of the assessee is treated as allowed for statistical purposes.
Order pronounced in the open court on 27-03-2025 (Makarand V. Mahadeokar) (Sanjay Garg)
