Aforesaid appeals by assessee for Assessment Years (AY) 2014- 15 to 2017-18 arises out of separate orders passed by learned 2 Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Chennai-20 [CIT(A)] on 22-01- 2024 in the matter of assessments framed by Ld. Assessing Officer [AO] u/s.147 of the Act on 30-03-2022.
In assessment order for AY 2014-15, Ld. AO disallowed credit card expenses and site development expenses. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the same for want of representation from assessee. Similar assessments have been framed for other years as well wherein the assessee has failed to attend first appellate proceedings. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us. The Ld. AR has pleaded for another opportunity of hearing which has been opposed by Ld. Sr. DR.
Though the assessee has remained negligent, however, keeping in mind the principle of natural justice, we deem it fit to grant another opportunity to the assessee to substantiate its case. Therefore, the matter, in all the years, is restored back to the file of Ld. AO for de novo assessment after affording reasonable opportunity of hearing to the assessee. The assessee is directed to substantiate its case and supply the requisite information.
All the appeals stand allowed for statistical purposes.
Order pronounced on 21st May, 2024.
