2 ITA.No.2393/Del./2015 Shri Naveen Solanki, Delhi.
After considering the rival submissions, we are of the view that the matter requires reconsideration at the level of the Ld. CIT(A). Learned Counsel for the Assessee filed copy of the Order of the ITAT, Delhi-SMC Bench, in the case of assessee for same A.Y. 2009-2010 dated 08.12.2017 in ITA.No.2392/Del./2015 on quantum, on which, the Tribunal has restored the quantum appeal to the file of Ld. CIT(A) with a direction to pass speaking order. Since the quantum appeal is pending before the Ld. CIT(A), therefore, the penalty matter needs re-consideration at the level of the Ld. CIT(A). We, accordingly, set aside the impugned Order and restore the appeal of assessee to the file of Ld. CIT(A) with a direction to re-decide the appeal of assessee on penalty after deciding the appeal of assessee on quantum. The Ld. CIT(A) shall give reasonable and sufficient opportunity of being heard to the assessee. Accordingly, appeal of Assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
3 ITA.No.2393/Del./2015 Shri Naveen Solanki, Delhi. 3. In the result, appeal of Assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
Order pronounced in the open Court.
