Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, ‘A’ BENCH, CHENNAI
Before: SHRI CHANDRA POOJARI & SHRI G. PAVAN KUMAR
आदेश / O R D E R PER G. PAVAN KUMAR, JUDICIAL MEMBER:
The appeal filed by the assessee is directed against order of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals)-2, Chennai in dated 11.03.2016 for the assessment year
ITA No.1872/2016 :- 2 -:
2012-2013 passed u/s.143(3) and 250 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (herein after referred to as ‘the Act’).
During the course of hearing, we find that nobody representing assessee has appeared nor any adjournment request has been received. From the conduct of the assessee it appears that the assessee is not interested in pursuing the appeal before the Tribunal.
In these circumstances, as held by I.T.A.T., Delhi Bench in the case of CIT vs. Multiplan India (P) Limited 38 ITD 320 that there may be various reasons for the assessee to remain absent at the time of hearing and one of the reasons might be absence to prosecute the appeal and also following decision of the Co-ordinate bench of the Tribunal in the case of Helios and Matheson Information Technology Limited vs ITO in dated 05.07.2011, we hereby dismiss the appeal in limine. However, we make it clear that the assessee is at liberty to file a petition to recall this order provided convincing/sufficient cause be explained for non appearance on the ITA No.1872/2016 :- 3 -: said date of hearing.
In the result, the appeal of the assessee is dismissed. 3.
Order pronounced on Thursday, the 8th day of September, 2016, at Chennai.
