Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, DIVISION BENCHES ‘A’, CHANDIGARH
Before: MS. DIVA SINGH & MS. ANNAPURNA GUPTA
PER DIVA SINGH
The present appeal has been filed by the assessee assailing the correctness of the order dated 30.01.2018 of CIT(A)-1 Amritsar pertaining to the 2008-09 assessment year. 2. However, at the time of hearing, no one was present on behalf of the assessee. The appeal was passed over. Despite that in the next round, the position remained the same. It is further seen that the appeal had earlier come up for hearing on 02.07.2018 and on the said date, an adjournment application was placed on behalf of the assessee. The appeal, accordingly was adjourned on the written request of the counsel. It is seen that despite the fact that an adjournment had been sought by the assessee which was granted. The assessee despite this has remained unrepresented. A pass over was given but nobody put in an appearance even in the next round. Accordingly, in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the present case it can be safety presumed that the assessee is not serious in pursuing the appeal filed. Relying upon the order of the ITAT Delhi Benches in the case of CIT Vs Multiplan India Pvt. Ltd. (1991) 38 ITD 320 and the decision of Hon'ble Madhya Pradesh High Court in the case of Late Shri Tukoji Rao Holkar Vs Wealth Tax Commissioner 223 ITR 480 (MP) etc., the appeal of the assessee is dismissed in limine. 3. Before parting, it is appropriate to add that in the eventuality the assessee is able to show that there was a reasonable cause for non-
