RAJUSHA TEXTILES PRIVATE LIMITED,B-SUNDRAM PUNJABI PURA DELHI ROAD MEERUT vs. WARD 1(2)(3), MEERUT, AAYAKAR BUILDING MEERUT
What did the Tribunal hold?
The tribunal held that there was no merit in the assessee's appeal. Since the CIT(A)/NFAC had only exercised its 'remand' jurisdiction to restore the appeal to the Assessing Officer, and the underlying assessment was framed under Section 144, there was no justifiable ground for the assessee's appeal before the tribunal. Consequently, the assessee's appeal was dismissed.
What were the facts?
The assessee's appeal for AY 2012-13 was filed against a CIT(A)/NFAC order dated 09.09.2025, which, in proceedings under Section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, had invoked its 'remand' jurisdiction under the newly inserted proviso to Section 252(1)(a) to restore the lower appeal back to the Assessing Officer. The original assessment was framed by the AO under Section 144 of the Act on 30.12.2019. The tribunal proceeded ex-parte as the assessee did not appear for the hearing.
What were the issues?
Whether the CIT(A)'s order remanding the case back to the Assessing Officer under the newly inserted proviso to Section 252(1)(a) of the Income Tax Act constitutes an appealable order before the ITAT, particularly when the original assessment was framed under Section 144.
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
Section 143(3),Section 252(1)(a),Section 144
