Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, DELHI BENCH ‘E’ NEW DELHI
Before: SHRI I.C. SUDHIR & SHRI L.P. SAHU
Per L.P. Sahu, Accountant Member: These appeals by the assessee are directed against the orders dated 28.03.2014 passed by learned CIT(A)-Meerut for assessment years 2004-05 and 2005-06.
At the time of hearing, no one was present on behalf of the assessee despite the date of hearing in these appeals was fixed on the written request of the assessee’s counsel and its information was given in the open court. No request for adjournment has also come on record. Therefore, it can be safely inferred that the assessee is not serious in pursuing its appeals. In the circumstances, the only alternative left with us is to dismiss the appeals of the assessee in limine. Support is drawn from the order of Tribunal in CIT vs. Multi Plan India (P) Ltd., 38 ITD 320 (Del.) and of M.P. High Court in Estate of Late Tukojirao Holkar vs. CWT, 223 ITR 480 (MP).
Before parting, we think it appropriate to add that in case the assessee is able to show reasonable cause for non-representation on the date of hearing, then it may, if so advised, pray for recall of this order and decision on merits.
In the result, the appeals of the assessee are dismissed. Order is pronounced in the open court on 10.01.2017.
