KARANDHAI TAMIL SANGAM,,THANJAVUR vs. DCIT, CIRCLE-1,, THANJAVUR

At the outset, ld. AR submitted that the CIT(A) has passed the ex- parte order without providing any opportunity of hearing. Therefore, the ld. AR prayed for an opportunity to represent its case before the AO.

On the other hand, ld. DR relied on the orders of lower authorities.

We have heard the rival submissions of both the parties and perused the relevant material placed in the record of the Tribunal. We find that the Assessing Officer has framed the assessment u/s.144 r.w.s.147 of the Act as the assesse did not comply to the notice issued by the AO. The CIT(A) also confirmed the findings of AO. Ld. AR before the Bench 2 submitted that the assessee may be provided one more opportunity to substantiate its claim before the AO. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and in the interest of justice, there will be no loss to the Revenue if one more opportunity be granted to the assessee to represent its case before the AO. Accordingly, we restore both the appeals of the assessee for the respective years under consideration to the file of AO to frame the assessment de novo considering the submissions of the assessee, after providing sufficient opportunity of hearing to the assessee. The assessee is also directed to cooperate with the AO positively, in early disposal of the case.

In the result, both the appeals of the assessee are allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the open court on 23/02/ 2022.
