Before: SHRI SUDHANSHU SRIVASTAVA & SHRI O.P. KANT
order of the ld. Commissioner of Income Tax(A)-21, New Delhi dated 10.01.2017 and pertains to assessment year 2008-09.
2.0 At the outset, the ld. AR submitted that the order of the ld. CIT(A) was passed ex parte because the notice of hearing could not be served on the assessee as the assessee was an expatriate.
The ld. AR submitted that now the assessee has appointed him as the authorised representative for the income tax proceedings and he assured the Bench that if given the opportunity, the case of the assessee will be represented before the ld. CIT(A).
2.1 The ld. Sr. DR had no objection to the appeal being restored to the file of the ld. CIT(A).
2.2 Accordingly, in view of the submissions by both the parties, we restore this issue to the office of the ld. CIT(A) and direct the authorised representative to appear before the ld. CIT(A) on 10th October, 2019. The ld. CIT(A) is directed to adjudicate the issues in the appeal afresh after giving due opportunity to the assessee to present its case.
In the result, the appeal of the assessee stands allowed for statistical purposes.
Order pronounced in the open court on 30th July, 2019.
