Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, KOLKATA ‘B’ BENCH, KOLKATA
Before: Sri J. Sudhakar Reddy, Hon’ble & Sri Aby T. Varkey, Hon’ble
order : November 25th, 2020 ORDER Per J. Sudhakar Reddy, AM :- This appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the order of the Learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) – 24, Kolkata, (hereinafter the “ld.CIT(A)”), passed u/s. 250 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (the ‘Act’), dt. 21/02/2019, for the Assessment Year 2015-16.
None appeared on behalf of the assessee. There is no petition for adjournment either. Under these circumstances, we dispose off the case ex-parte, on merits, qua the assessee after hearing the ld. Departmental Representative.
After perusing the order passed by the ld. CIT(A), we find that the assessee has not appeared before the ld. CIT(A) and hence an ex-parte order was passed dismissing the appeal of the assessee. We find that the ld. CIT(A) has not disposed off the case on merits. This is not permissible in law. Hence, we deem it fit to restore the issue to the file of the ld. CIT(A), for fresh adjudication, in accordance with law, after giving the assessee adequate opportunity of being heard, on the grounds of violations of the principles of natural justice.
In the result, appeal of assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. Kolkata, the 25th day of November, 2020. Sd/- Sd/- [Aby T. Varkey] [J. Sudhakar Reddy] Judicial Member Accountant Member Dated : 25.11.2020 {SC SPS}
