What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal determined that the assessee had indeed rectified the defects, leading to the allowance of the miscellaneous application and the revival of the original appeal. Furthermore, noting that a similar quantum appeal had been remanded, the Tribunal also allowed ITA No.18/Del/2020 for statistical purposes and remanded it to the CIT(A) for de novo adjudication on merits, ensuring the assessee is given an opportunity of being heard.

What were the facts?

The assessee's appeal (ITA No.18/Del/2020 for A.Y. 2012-13) was previously dismissed by the Tribunal for non-prosecution due to defects, specifically the non-annexation of the assessment order under Section 143(3). The assessee filed a Miscellaneous Application (M.A. No.336/DEL/2024) to recall this dismissal order, asserting that the defects had since been rectified.

What were the issues?

1. Whether a miscellaneous application to recall a dismissal order for non-prosecution should be allowed after the assessee rectifies the initial defects. 2. Whether the revived quantum appeal should be remanded to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication on merits.

Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?

Section 143(3)
