ITA 129/JP/2017_ 3 Jhnujhunu Kyra Vikrya Sahakari Samiti Ltd. Vs ITO
In this case, the return was e-filed on 21/09/2010 and the
assessment was finalized U/s 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (in
short the Act) at the income of Rs. 59,690/-.
The assessee preferred appeal before the ld. CIT(A) and at the
outset of hearing, the ld AR has submitted that the ld. CIT(A) was on
camp office and the assessee could not get proper and effective hearing
from the ld. CIT(A). The order of the ld. CIT(A) shows that it has been
passed ex parte. Due to uncertainty of the ld. CIT(A)’s availability in the
camp office, the assessee could not comply and he prayed that the
matter may be restored back to the file of the ld. CIT(A) for deciding on
merit.
The ld. DR was not having any serious objection for this proposal
of the ld. AR. Therefore, considering all the facts and circumstances of
the case and in the interest of justice and equity, the issue raised in the
appeal are restored back to the file of the ld. CIT(A) for fresh
adjudication. The ld. CIT(A) shall provide proper and effective
opportunity of being heard to the assessee. Accordingly, the issue raised
in the appeal is restored to the file of the ld. CIT(A).
