Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2017-18 arises out of the order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] dated 22-02-2024 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing Officer [AO] u/s.143(3) of the Act on 27-12-2019. The sole grievance of the assessee is against confirmation of addition of Rs.25.00 Lacs as unexplained cash credit u/s.68 of the Act. From para-4 of impugned order, it could be seen that the assessee has failed to attend first appellate proceedings and accordingly, the assessment has been confirmed. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us. The Ld. AR has prayed for another opportunity of hearing which has been opposed by Ld. Sr. DR. 2. Keeping in mind the principle of natural justice, we deem it fit to provide another opportunity of hearing to the assessee. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the appeal is restored back to the file of Ld. CIT(A) for de novo adjudication with a direction to the assessee to substantiate its case. 3. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced on 3 rd July, 2024 Sd/- Sd/- (ABY T.
