SUCHANDANA TIE-UP PRIVATE LIMITED,KOLKATA vs. ITO, WARD 5(1), KOLKATA, KOLKATA

- This assessee’s appeal for assessment year 2012-13 arises from the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-2 Kolkata’s order dated 03.01.2017, passed in case No.69/CIT(A)-2/15-16, in proceedings u/s. 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Today when the case was called for hearing none appeared on behalf of the assessee nor was any application for an adjournment filed by the assessee in spite of issue of notice by RPAD. It appears that the assessee is not serious in prosecuting this appeal. Hence the appeal filed by the assessee is liable to be dismissed for non- prosecution. For this view, we find support from the following decisions:- "1. In the case of CIT vs B.N.Bhattacharjee and another, reported in 118 ITR 461 [relevant pages 477 & 478] wherein their Lordships have held that: "The appeal does not mean merely filing of the appeal but effectively pursuing it."
