M/S. SKB TRADEX PVT. LTD.,DELHI vs. PR. CIT- 8, NEW DELHI

This is an appeal filed by the assessee against the order of the ld CIT, New Delhi , dated 23/3/2017 passed u/s 263 of the Income tax Act for the Assessment Year 2007-08.

Today, i.e. on 15/10/2018 when this case was called on board, none appeared on behalf of the assessee nor any request for adjournment has been filed before the Tribunal. It seems that the assessee is not interested in prosecuting the appeal; hence, the appeal filed by the assessee is liable to be un-admitted and dismissed for non-prosecution. In our above view, we find support from the following decisions:- (i). In the case of CIT Vs. B.N. Bhattachargee & Another 118 ITR 461 (relevant pages 477 & 478) wherein their Lordships have held that “The appeal does not mean merely filing of appeal but effectively pursuing it.”
