A.Y. 2013-14 Page No 2 Bhumika Navin Patel (L/H Of Late Navinbhai P. Patel) vs. ITO
The solitary issue in this appeal, that the appeal filed by the Legal Heir of late Shri Navinbhai Punjabhai Patel, incorrectly the mentioned her PAN Number (namely Smt. Bhumika Navinbhai Patel) instead of the deceased assessee’s PAN in the appeal Form No. 35 filed before NFAC. For this wrong quoting of PAN, the appeal filed by the Assessee was dismissed by the Ld. CIT(A). It is seen from the appellate order that no opportunity to rectify this curable defects was given to the assessee by Ld. CIT(A). Without giving such an opportunity and dismissing the appeal filed by the assessee is violation of fundamental Principle of Natural Justice and the such order is liable to be set aside.
Thus the impugned order passed by Ld. NFAC is hereby set aside with a direction to Ld. CIT(A) to give opportunity to the assessee to rectify the defects in the appeal Memo in Form No. 35 and other records filed by the assessee and thereafter decide the appeal on merits of the case by providing proper opportunity of hearing to the assessee.
In the result, the appeal filed by the Assessee is allowed for statistical purpose.
