ORDER
PER KULDIP SINGH, JUDICIAL MEMBER :
The appellant S.S.Digital Point Pvt. Ltd., Delhi
(hereinafter referred to as 'the assessee') by filing the aforesaid
appeal, sought to set aside the impugned order dated 09/11/2016
passed by Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax(Appeals)-17, New
Delhi qua the Assessment Year 2012-13 on the grounds inter alia
that :
1. "Because the action is under challenge on facts & law since
the findings recorded qua appeal dismissal is in violation to the
principles of natural & substantial justice for a decision in
accordance with law.
2. Because the action is being challenged on facts & law, for
upholding the addition of Rs. 39,69,861 for not substantiating
2 ITA No. 6520/Del./2016
the claims of creditors/credit balances & treating the same as
unexplained income from undisclosed sources.
3. Because the action is being challenged on facts & law, for
making the addition amounting Rs. 3,150/- on account of
interest received u/s 244A.
PRAYER
For any consequential relief and/ or legal claim
arising out of this appeal and for any addition, deletion,
amendment and modification in the grounds of appeal before
the disposal of the same in the interest of substantial justice to
the assessee."
4. Briefly stated the facts necessary for adjudication of the
controversy at hand are : assessee company is into business of
Digital Printing and Digital Fabrication. Assessing Officer made
addition of Rs. 39,69,861/- and Rs. 3510/- on account of
disallowances of expenses and framed the assessment at Rs.
57,77,010/- u/s 143(3)/ 144 of the Income Tax Act.
5. Assessee carried the matter before Ld. CIT(A) by way of
filing the appeal before Ld. CIT(A) who has dismissed appeal ex
parte. Feeling aggrieved the assessee has come up before the
Tribunal by way of filing the present appeal.
6. We have heard the ld. Authorized Representatives of the
parties to the appeal, gone through the documents relied upon and
orders passed by the revenue authorities below in the light of the
facts and circumstances of the case.
7. At the very outset the Ld. AR for the assessee contended
that the Ld. CIT(A) has passed the order at the back of assessee
3 ITA No. 6520/Del./2016
without providing opportunity of being heard and the assessee has
never received the notice allegedly issued by Ld. CIT(A) and
made a request for providing opportunity of being heard.
8. Perusal of the impugned order passed by Ld. CIT(A) goes
to prove that pursuant to the notice dated 19.07.2016 issued by Ld.
CIT(A), adjournment application was moved by the assessee and
case was adjourned to 31.08.2016 and again request for
adjournment was received and case was adjourned to 18.10.2016
on which date another requests for adjournment was received and
ultimately case adjourned to 08.11.2016 on which date none
appeared on behalf of the assessee. No doubt the assessee is at
fault to argue its appeal before Ld. CIT(A) but to decide the issue
once for all on merits, we are of the considered view that in the
interest of justice one more opportunity is required to be given to
the assessee. Consequently impugned order passed by Ld. CIT(A)
is set aside and case is remanded back to the Ld. CIT(A) to decide
afresh after providing adequate opportunity of being heard to the
assessee, hence, appeal filed by the assessee is allowed for
statistical purposes.
Order pronounced in open court on this 29th January, 2020.
