The Tribunal held that the appeal was not maintainable as it was filed by the Managing Director at a time when the company was ordered to be wound up by the National Company Law Tribunal. The appeal should have been preferred by the liquidator or IRP.

The Tribunal observed that the CIT(A) did not decide the appeal on merits. Therefore, the case was remanded back to the CIT(A) for a fresh decision, with an opportunity for the assessee to be heard and provide necessary documents.
