Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, PUNE BENCH “B”, PUNE
Before: SHRI R.S. SYAL & SHRI S.S. VISWANETHRA RAVI
आदेश / ORDER PER R.S. SYAL, VP : These two appeals by the assessee relate to the penalties levied by the Assessing Officer and confirmed by the ld. CIT(A) u/s.271(1)(c) and 271F of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter also called ‘the Act’) in relation to the assessment year 2010-11.
Having heard the ld. DR and gone through the relevant material on record, it is observed that the ld. CIT(A) passed ex parte orders qua the assessee confirming the penalties imposed by the AO. The assessee has challenged the passing of the impugned orders without granting adequate opportunity of hearing.
Considering the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the considered opinion that it would be in the fitness of things if the matters concerning the penalties are sent back to the ld. CIT(A) for deciding them afresh as per law. We order accordingly. Needless to say, the assessee will be allowed a reasonable opportunity of hearing in such fresh proceedings.
In the result, both the appeals are allowed for statistical purposes.
Order pronounced in the Open Court on 07th June, 2022.
