Before: SHRI H.S. SIDHU
This appeal is filed by the Assessee is directed against the Order dated 4.5.2016 of the Ld. CIT(A), Ghaziabad relevant to assessment year 2012-13.
In this case the Notice was sent to the Assessee for hearing by Regd. AD Post for today i.e. 30.11.2016 at the address mentioned in Form No. 36 vide Column No. 10, but neither the assessee nor his Authorised Representative attended the hearing and also not filed any application for adjournment. It is thus inferred that the assessee is not interested in prosecution of his appeal, therefore, in my considered opinion, no useful purpose would be served to send the notice again and again on the same address.
Having regard to Rule 19(2) of ITAT Rules and following various decisions of Delhi Bench of the Tribunal including that of Multiplan India Ltd. : 38 ITD 320 (Delhi) and Hon’ble Madhya Pradesh High Court’s decision in Estate of Late Tukojirao Holkar vs. CWT; 223 ITR 480 (MP), I treat this appeal as unadmitted and dismiss the same. I would like to clarify that subsequently if the assessee explains the reasons for non appearance and if the Bench is so satisfied, the matter may be recalled for the purpose of adjudication of the appeal.
