ORDER
PER J.SUDHAKAR REDDY, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER
This appeal is filed by the assessee directed against the order of the
Ld.CIT(Appeals)-VI, New Delhi dt. 20.2.2013 pertaining to the Assessment Year
2003-04, on the following grounds.
"1. The Ld.CIT (A) is erred in law and on facts in confirming addition
of Rs.5,02,500/- on account of share application money and
presumed commission.
2. No notice of hearing was received by the appellant. Appellate
order was received by the appellant but none of the notices dated
7.6.2011, 2.8.2011 and 30.1.2013 as stated by the Ld.CIT (A) was

received by the appellant. Ex parte order passed by the Ld.CIT (A)
is unjustified and unlawful as no notice of hearing was served on the
appellant company."
2. When the case was called up for hearing, the assessee moved an
adjournment application. On consideration of the same we are of the
considered opinion that this is not a fit case to grant adjournment. Hence the
same is rejected.
3. After hearing the Ld.D.R. Mr.Gagan Sood, we find that the principles of
natural justice are not complied with by the Ld.CIT(Appeals)-IV, New Delhi. The
assessee's case is that no notice of hearing was received by it from the
Ld.CIT(Appeals). In fact a prayer was made that the Office of the
Ld.CIT(Appeals) demonstrate that a notice has been served on the assessee
intimating the date of hearing before the Ld.CIT(Appeals). The Revenue could
not demonstrate that the notices referred to at para 4 of the Ld.CIT(Appeals)'s
order were served on the assessee. Under the circumstances, we are of the
considered opinion that the appeal should be set aside to the file of the
Ld.CIT(Appeals) for fresh adjudication in accordance with law, after affording
adequate opportunity of hearing to the assessee. The assessee is directed to
approach the Office of the Ld.CIT(Appeals) and obtain the notice of date of
hearing.
