Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2010-11 arises out of the order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] dated 20-11-2023 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing Officer [AO] u/s. 144 r.w.s 147 of the Act on 31-12-2018. In the assessment order, Ld. AO made addition of cash deposit and certain addition under the head capital gains. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the same since assessee failed to substantiate it stand therein. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us. The Ld. AR has pleaded for another opportunity of hearing before lower authorities 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. Accordingly, the matter is restored back to learned AO for de novo assessment after affording reasonable opportunity of hearing to the assessee. The assessee is directed to substantiate its case forthwith failing which Ld. AO shall be at liberty to proceed with assessment on merits on the basis of material on record. The Ld. Sr. DR has pleaded for imposition of cost However, considering the background of the assessee, the bench is not inclined towards the same. 3. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes.
