Aggrieved by confirmation of certain addition u/s.69 r.w.s. 115BBE for Rs.11.58 Lacs vide impugned order dated 04-10-2023, the assessee is in further appeal before us. The assessment has been framed u/s 144. Upon perusal of para 4.1 of impugned order, it could be seen that the assessee did not attend first appellate proceedings and therefore, the appeal was dismissed for non-prosecution. The Ld. AR pleaded for another opportunity of hearing which has been opposed by Ld. Sr. DR.
Though we concur with the submissions of Ld. Sr. DR, however, keeping in mind the principle of natural justice, we deem it fit to grant another opportunity of hearing to the assessee. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the appeal is restored back to the file of Ld. CIT(A) for de novo adjudication after affording opportunity of hearing to the assessee. The assessee is directed to substantiate its case forthwith without any fail failing which Ld. CIT(A) shall be at liberty to proceed with the disposal of the appeal on merits.
The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced on 16th April, 2024.
