Singh, JCIT Sr. D/R. appearing on behalf of the Revenue. Date of concluding the hearing : November 29th , 2018 Date of pronouncing the order : December 12th, 2018 ORDER Per J. Sudhakar Reddy, AM :- This is an appeal filed by the assessee directed against the order of the Learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-1, Kolkata, (ld. CIT(A)) passed u/s. 250 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, (the ‘Act’), dt. 27/11/2017, for the Assessment Year 2011-12.
None appeared on behalf of the assessee despite issue of notice by RPAD. There was no application moved by the assessee for adjournment either. Under the circumstances we dispose of the case ex-parte on merits qua the assessee after hearing the ld. Departmental Representative.
After hearing the ld. D/R and perusing the order passed by the ld. CIT(A), we find that the assessee has not appeared before the ld. CIT(A) and hence and ex-parte order was passed. As the ld. CIT(A) has not disposed off the case on merits, we deem it fit to restore the issue to the file of the ld. CIT(A), for fresh adjudication, in accordance with law, after giving the assessee adequate opportunity of being heard, on the grounds of natural justice, subject to the payment of cost of Rs.10,000/- (Rs. Ten Thousand Only) by the assessee in favour of Prime Minister Relief Fund, for having not appeared before the ld. CIT(A) as well as before us in this proceeding.. The CIT(A) shall verify the said payment by the assessee and thereafter proceed to dispose off the case on merits.
