आदेश / O R D E R Manoj Kumar Aggarwal (Accountant Member): -

1. 1. Aggrieved by the orders of learned first appellate authority for AYs 2004-05 to 2010-11, the assessee is under further appeal before us.

2. When the appeals were called for hearing, none appeared for assessee. No valid adjournment application has been placed on record. to 2987/Mum/2014 Shri Mahendra Kumar Patodia A.Ys. 2004-05 to 2010-11 Left with no option, the matter was proceeded with ex-parte qua the assessee. The Ld. CIT-DR, at the outset, submitted that the appeals ought to have been dismissed for want of condonation of delay keeping in view the conduct of the assessee before lower authorities as well as before the Tribunal.

3. Upon perusal of quantum assessment order, it transpires that the assessment was framed u/s 144 on best judgment basis since the assessee failed to make effective appearance before Ld. Assessing Officer. The stand of Ld. AO was confirmed by first appellate authority since the assessee remained unable to substantiate his stand.

4. Upon perusal of order sheet entries, it is noted that the assessee has sought adjournment on multiple occasions and made no sincere efforts towards disposal of the appeals. Further, all the appeals have been filed with a delay ranging from 60 days to 75 days and the assessee is unable to place on record sufficient material to justify the delay in filing of the appeals.

5. Keeping in view the overall factual matrix, we dismiss all the appeals on preliminary issue of condonation of delay as per the submissions of Ld. DR.

6. In the result, all the appeals stand dismissed. Order pronounced in the open court on 18th November, 2019. Sd/- Sd/- (Mahavir Singh) (Manoj Kumar Aggarwal) �ाियक सद� / Judicial Member लेखा सद� / Accountant Member मुंबई Mumbai; िदनांकDated : 18/11/2019 Sr.PS:-**PP,SPS
