This appeal filed by the Assessee is directed against the order of the learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-3, Coimbatore dated 08.10.2018 pertaining to assessment year 2010 - 2011.
When this appeal is taken up for hearing the learned Counsel for the Assessee submitted that he was unable to be present before the Assessing Officer due to circumstances beyond his control. Therefore, he has not filed all the relevant details. Even before the learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), the Assessee could not file any relevant details. Therefore, the learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) simply dismissed the appeal of the Assessee and submitted that one more opportunity be given to the Assessee to substantiate his case before the Assessing Officer.
The learned Departmental Representative has not raised any objection in this regard.
In view of the above submissions made by the Assessee, we are of the opinion that one more opportunity should be given to the Assessee to substantiate his case before the Assessing Officer. Accordingly, we set aside the order passed by the learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and remit back the matter to the file of the Assessing Officer to adjudicate the issue afresh in accordance with law.
In the result, the appeal filed by the Assessee in is allowed for statistical purpose.
Order pronounced on 17th December, 2020 in Chennai.
