Assessee challenging the orders of Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals/ National Faceless Appeal Centre (‘Ld. CIT(A)/NFAC’ for short), New Delhi dated 28/03/2024 pertaining to Assessment Years 2011-12, and 2012-13, wherein the Ld. CIT(A) dismissed the penalty Appeals filed by the Assessee.
The Ld. Counsel for the Assessee vehemently submitted that all the First Appeals filed by the Assessee challenging both quantum as well as penalty have been dismissed by the Ld. CIT(A) without hearing the Assessee which is in violation of principals of natural justice. Further submitted that while deciding the first appeal without dealt all the grounds of Appeal of the Assessee and in a cryptic manner the Ld. CIT(A) has passed the orders impugned. Thus, sought for allowing the Appeals.
4. Per contra, the Ld. Departmental Representative relying on the orders of the Ld. CIT(A) sought for dismissal of the Appeal.
We have heard both the parties and perused the material available on record. It can be seen from the order of the Ld. CIT(A) , the impugned orders have been passed ex-parte without hearing the Assessee. It is further observed that while deciding the First Appeals, the Ld. CIT(A) has not dealt with all the grounds of Appeals of the Assessee on merits.
Considering the facts that the Assessee has not participated in the first Appellate proceedings, in the interest of natural justice, we remand the matter to the file of the Ld. CIT(A) with a direction to the Ld. CIT(A) to decide the Frist Appeals afresh on merits in accordance with law after providing opportunity of being heard to the Assessee.
In the result, the Appeals of the Assessee in (A.Y. 2011-12), (A.Y. 2012- (A.Y. 2012-13)are partly allowed for statistical purpose.
