Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, PUNE “SMC” BENCH : PUNE [VIRTUAL HEARING]
Before: SHRI SATBEER SINGH GODARA
Date of Hearing : 13.03.2024 Date of Pronouncement : 26.03.2024 ORDER PER SATBEER SINGH GODARA, J.M. :
The assessee’s twin appeals & 22/PUN/2024, for assessment years 2017-18 and 2018-19, arise against the Addl./JCIT(A)-4, Kolkata; Din(s) and Order Nos.ITBA/APL/S/250/2023-24/1057776264(1) and ITBA/APL/S/250/ 2023-24/1057774302(1), both dated 07.11.2023, involving proceedings u/s.143(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (in short “the Act”), respectively. Heard both the parties at length. Case file perused.
Ms. Deshpande vehemently argued during the course of hearing that the assessee herein had been rightly proceeded ex parte in the lower appellate proceedings on account of its failure to respond to the NFAC’s notices served
2 ITA.Nos.21 & 22/PUN/2024 Ganraj Township LLP at the given e-mail address(es). She fails to dispute the clinching identical fact in both the impugned appellate orders that the same have nowhere been complied with u/s.250(6) of the Act requiring framing of points of determination followed by a detailed adjudication thereupon. Therefore, keeping in mind the clinching fact that the concept of faceless hearing is newly introduced system wherein some unintended doubts regarding service of notices could not be altogether ruled out, it is deemed appropriate to restore the assessee’s instant twin appeals back to the learned NFAC for afresh adjudication in accordance with law, preferably within three effective opportunities of hearing subject to rider that it shall be the taxpayer’s onus only to plead and prove all facts with the relevant evidences in consequential proceedings.
These assessee’s twin appeals are allowed for statistical purposes in above terms. A copy of this common order be placed in the respective case files.
Order pronounced in the open Court on 26.03.2024.
