When the appeals was called up for hearing, nobody appeared for assessee.

In the circumstances, we are of the opinion that the assessee is not interested in prosecuting its case. We dismiss the appeals following the decision of the Delhi Bench of the ITAT in CIT v. Multiplan India P.Ltd., (1991) 38 ITD 320 and of the Madhya Pradesh High Court in the case of Estate of late Tukoji Rao Holkar v. CWT (1997) 223 ITR 480, as the appeals are infructuous for non-prosecution.

In the result, appeals of the assessee are dismissed. Order pronounced in open court on the 17th day of November, 2017.
