The instant appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the order dated 24.03.2022 passed by theNational Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi,arising out of the order dated 23.12.2016passed by the DCIT(Exemptions), Bhopalunder section 143(3)r.w.s. 147of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred as to ‘the Act’) for Assessment Year 2009-10.
We have heard the respective parties and perused the materials available on record.
The Ld. CIT(A) has passed the order on 24.03.2022 whereas the Shri Anil Kumar Agrawal, managing person of assessee already expired on 29.05.2021. It is relevant to mention that the appeal was instituted before the First Appellate Authority on 19.01.2017 against the order dated 23.12.2016 [M/s. SethShriShrinarayanAgarwal Charitable Trust vs.DCIT(Exemptions)]Asst.Year.–2009-10- 2 - passed by the DCIT(Exemption), Bhopal under Section 143(3) r.w.s. 147 of the Act. The factum of death of managing person of assessee (Anil Kumar Agrawal) in not on record. Ld. Counsel appearing for the assessee duly submitted the photo copy of the certificate of death of Shri Anil Kumar Agrawal who has expired in Yashoda Hospital on 29th May, 2021 at Bhopal, M.P. The submission made by the Ld. AR that as the managing person of assessee has already expired, the matter could not be taken care of properly before the First Appellate Authority seems to be acceptable. After his demise, the person taken care of the society was not been able to take proper care in the appeal preferred before the Appellate Authority. In view of the factual aspect of the matter as stated above, we find it fit and proper to remit the issue to the file of the Ld. CIT(A) for consideration afresh upon giving notice to the appellant herein and upon considering the evidence on record or any other evidence which the appellant may choose to file in support of the case made out by the appellant. The Ld. CIT(A) is directed to pass orders accordingly.
In the result, assessee’s appeal isallowed for statistical purposes.
