Before: Shri Bhavnesh Saini & Shri L.P. Sahu
ORDER Per L.P. Sahu, A.M.: This appeal by the assessee is directed against the order dated 19.08.2016 passed by learned CIT(E)-Lucknow.
None is present on behalf of the appellant despite notifying the date of hearing vide notice issued to the assessee at the address given in appeal papers through registered post. It is notable that at earlier two dates fixed for hearing, the assessee has remained absent. Therefore, it can be safely inferred that the assessee is not serious in pursuing its appeal. In the circumstances, the only alternative left with us is to dismiss the appeal of the assessee in limine. Support is drawn from the order of Tribunal in CIT vs. Multi Plan India (P) Ltd., 38 ITD 320 (Del.) and of M.P. High Court in Estate of Late Tukojirao Holkar vs. CWT, 223 ITR 480 (MP).
In the result, the appeal of the assessee is dismissed, as indicated above. Order is pronounced in the open court on 28th August, 2018.
