Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, PUNE BENCH “B”, PUNE
Before: SHRI S.S. GODARA & DR. DIPAK P. RIPOTE
Assessee by None Revenue by Shri M.G. Jasnani Date of hearing 14-07-2022 Date of pronouncement 27-07-2022 आदेश / ORDER PER S.S. GODARA, JM :
This assessee‟s appeal for AY 2011-12 arises against the CIT(A)-3, Pune‟s order dated 12-10-2018 passed in case No.PN/CIT(A)-3/DCIT Cir 3, Pn/315/2014-15/574, in proceedings under Section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in short „the Act‟.
Case called twice. None appears at the assessee‟s behest. He is accordingly proceeded ex-parte.
It emerges at the outset with the able assistance coming from the Revenue side that the CIT(A) herein has refused to condone assessee‟s delay of 23 days in filing appeal on the ground that the same has not been explained by justifiable reasons. Mr. Jasnani could hardly dispute that this assessee had indeed filed his condonation petition attributing health reasons coupled with all the corresponding details.
The fact also remains that the learned CIT(A) has not adjudicated the assessee‟s lower appeal on merits as contemplated u/s 250(6). We therefore deem it appropriate to condone the delay of 23 days before the CIT(A)(supra) and restore all the substantive grounds on merits back to the CIT(A) for his afresh adjudication on merits as per law within three effective hearings of opportunity. Ordered accordingly.
This assessee‟s appeal is allowed for statistical purposes in above terms.
Order pronounced in the Open Court on 27th July, 2022.
