Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, “ B ” BENCH, AHMEDABAD
Before: SHRI PRADIP KUMAR KEDIA & SHRI MAHAVIR PRASAD
आदेश / O R D E R
PER SHRI MAHAVIR PRASAD, JUDICIAL MEMBER : This is an appeal by the assessee against the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax(Appeals)-2, Vadodara, dated 28/11/2014 for the Assessment Year (AY) 2011-12.
The notice of hearing was sent to the assessee by Registered Post as per the address given in Column No.8 of Form No. 36. However, at
ITA No.377/Ahd/2015 Shroff Oil Manufacturing Co. Pvt. Ltd. vs. ACIT Asst.Year – 2011-12 - 2 - the time of hearing none appeared on behalf of the assessee nor any application for adjournment has been filed. From this, it is reasonable to infer that the assessee is not serious to pursue its case. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of CIT vs. B.N. Bhattachargee and Another, 118 ITR 461(SC) observed that preferring an appeal means effectively pursuing it. Hon’ble M.P. High Court in the case of Estate of Late Tukojirao Holkar vs. CWT, 223 ITR 480(M.P.) dismissed the reference filed by the assessee for not taking necessary steps. Similar view is taken by I.T.A.T., Delhi Bench in the case of Multiplan India Ltd., 38 ITD 320. Considering the above, it appears that the assessee is not interested in prosecuting its appeal. We, therefore, dismiss the appeal filed by the assessee for non-prosecution.
In the result, appeal filed by the assessee is dismissed. This Order pronounced in Open Court on 29/09/2017
