O R D E R

PER DR. MANISH BORAD, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER :

Both these appeals are directed at the instance of the assessee against the separate orders of the learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions), (hereinafter the “ld. CIT(E)”) even dt. 02/01/2024.

Though the assessee has raised several grounds of appeal in both these appeals but the ld. Counsel for the assessee, before us submitted that the orders of the ld. First Appellate Authority passed in both these appeals are ex-parte and assessee was not afforded reasonable opportunity of hearing. That the ld. CIT(E) has not disposed off the appeals on merits and if it had been so, the assessee stood a fair chance in succeeding. Therefore, he prayed that both the appeals be restored to the file of the ld. CIT(E) for fresh adjudication on merits, after providing the assessee opportunity of being heard.
