PER N.K. BILLAIYA, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER:-

1.

The above captioned two separate appeals by the assessee are preferred against two separate orders of the CIT(A) - 27, New Delhi dated 15.01.2019 pertaining to A.Y. 2011-12. Both these appeals were heard together and are disposed of by this common order for the sake of convenience and brevity.

2.

This appeal is filed against the assessment framed u/s 143(3) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 [the Act, for short]. The Assessing Officer is Dy. CIT, Circle – 4, Chandigarh. Therefore, the appeal is not maintainable before the Delhi Benches. This appeal is, accordingly, dismissed.

Therefore, keeping in view our decision in [supra], we restore this issue to the file of the Assessing Officer.
