The case was heard on 16.05.2025 and Shri S.K. Pransukhaka, authorized representative of the assessee appeared on behalf of the assessee and Shri Kaushik Roy, JCIT appeared on behalf of the Revenue.Both the sides argued the case at length. The counsel of the assessee was directed to file certain details as regards purchases and sales in support of his arguments concerning the alleged cash deposit during the demonetization. The counsel was asked to furnish certain details comprising bills, vouchers, invoices of the proof of payments, transport lorry receipts, weigh receipts, etc. and tally receipts etc. However, the counsel thereafter never turned up. The case was again fixed for clarification on 07.11.2025. However, no one appeared on behalf of the assessee despite being informed specifically on telephone. Therefore, we have no option but to dispose off these appeals on the basis of materials available before us with the help of ld. Departmental Representative. Pertinent to state that these appeals were decided ex-parte when the assessee did not respond to the various opportunities before the respective authorities below. Before us also the assessee is totally non-cooperative and is not

5.1. The facts in brief are that the assessee filed the return of income on 31.03.2015 of ₹26,15,750/-. The assessee was stated to be engaged in the business of trading in Guwahati. The case of the assessee was reopened u/s 147 of the Act and notice u/s 148 of the Act was issued on 27.03.2021. The assessee has not filed any return of income and thereafter, the detailed questionnaire was issued to the assessee which was not complied with by the assessee. The ld.

5.3. After hearing the rival contentions and perusing the materials available on record, we find that the assessee though made representation on 16.05.2025 before us and requested some more time to prepare and place the evidences on record for the purchase, however, till date of hearing i.e. 07.11.2025, no details were filed and even today when the case of the assessee was called for hearing there was no representation on behalf of the assessee and accordingly, we are deciding the appeal with the assistance of ld.
