None appeared on behalf of the assessee. There is no application for adjournment either. We find that the ld. CIT(A) has passed an ex-parte order. He has not disposed off the appeal on merits. Such dismissal for non-prosecution is not permissible in law. 3. The ld. DR submitted that the issue may be restored to the file of the ld. CIT(A) as there was violation of principles of natural justice at the stage of the assessment itself. 4. Under these circumstances we set aside the matter to the file of the ld. CIT(A) for fresh adjudication in accordance with law.
