Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, DELHI BENCH ‘B’: NEW DELHI
Before: SHRI R.K.PANDA & SHRI KULDIP SINGH
ASSESSEE BY : None REVENUE BY : Ms. Ashima Neb, Sr. DR Date of Hearing : 16.04.2019 Date of Order : 24.04.2019
O R D E R PER KULDIP SINGH, JUDICIAL MEMBER :
The appellant, Drishtee Foundation, (hereinafter referred to as ‘the assessee’) by filing the present appeal, sought to set aside the impugned order dated 13.06.2016 passed by Ld. CIT(A)-36, New Delhi qua the assessment year 2010-11.
In the aforesaid appeal, notice was sent through RPAD to the assessee for hearing on 13/03/2019 and the case was adjourned to 16/04/2019. Notice was again issued to the assessee for the next date of hearing i.e. 16/04/2019, and the case was adjourned. But the appellant has not preferred to put in his appearance himself or through his authorized representative nor sent any request for adjournment. So, it is apparent on record that the appellant is not interested in prosecution of the present appeal.
Keeping in view the legal position that mere issuance of notice does not amount to admission of appeal and this issue has been squarely decided by Hon’ble ITAT in the case of CIT vs. Multiplan (India) Pvt. Ltd. 38 ITD 320 (Del.), the present appeal is hereby dismissed for want of prosecution with liberty to the assessee to file an application to recall the order subject to demonstrate that he was prevented by sufficient cause from putting his appearance at the time of hearing.
In view of above, appeal filed by assessee is dismissed as unadmitted for want of prosecution. Order pronounced in open court on this 24th day of April, 2019.
