4.0 At the outset, the Ld. Authorized Representative (AR) submitted that the Ld. CIT(A) has dismissed all the appeals without giving adequate opportunity to the assessees of being heard. It was submitted by the Ld. Authorized Representative that even if the Ld. CIT(A) had to proceed ex-parte qua the assessees, the adjudication should have been made on the merits of the case before him.
5.0 Per contra, the Ld. Sr. Departmental Representative (DR) submitted that it was apparent from the reading of the impugned orders that the assessees had not co-operated at all during the course of appellate proceedings before the Ld. CIT(A).
The Ld. SR. DR vehemently argued that the assessees should not be permitted to take advantage of their carelessness and non cooperative approach and that the appeals of the assessees deserved to be dismissed in view of the failure of the assessees to establish their claims with documentary evidences before both the Lower Authorities.
6.0 On a query from the Bench, both the parties, however, agreed that the appeals could be restored to the file of the Ld. CIT(A) for re-adjudication.
7.0 Having heard both the parties and duly taking note of the fact that both the parties have agreed that these appeals can be restored to the office of the Ld. CIT(A), for the cause of substantial justice, we deem it expedient to restore all the captioned appeals to the file of the Ld. CIT(A) for being adjudicated upon afresh by passing a speaking order after giving proper opportunity to the assessees to present their cases. We also direct the assessees to fully co-operate during the course of the first appellate proceedings failing which the Ld. CIT(A) shall be at liberty to proceed ex-parte qua the assessees in accordance with law.
8.0 In the final result, all the appeals stand allowed for statistical purposes.
