                                     ORDER

PER CHANDRA POOJARI, AM:

       This appeal by the assessee is directed against the order of the CIT(A),
Guntur dated 28.4.2011 for assessment year 2005-06.

2.      This appeal was last posted for hearing on 5.3.2012. As the Bench did not
function on that day, hearing of the appeal was adjourned and posted for hearing
on 24.7.2012 with notice to both the parties. The notice was served on the
assessee and Acknowledgement Card is placed on record. However, on
24.7.2012 none appeared on behalf of the assessee or any petition seeking
adjournment of hearing is submitted. This conduct of the assessee shows that he
is not interested in prosecuting his appeal. Following the ratio laid down by the
Delhi Bench of this Tribunal in CIT v. Multiplan India Limited reported in 38
ITD 320, the appeal filed by the assessee is not admitted and dismissed in limine.

3.      However, the assessee is at liberty to file a petition for recalling this order,
if there is sufficient cause for non-appearance on the date of hearing i.e., on
24.7.2012.

4.      In the result, appeal of the assessee is dismissed.

              Order pronounced in the open court on 24th July, 2012.
