Case called twice. None appears at assessee’s behest. She is accordingly proceeded ex-parte. 2. It emerges during the course of hearing that the NFAC has noted the assessee’s continuous non-appearance in the lower appellate proceedings before rejecting his contentions vide ex-parte order under challenge. Smt. Neha could hardly dispute the clinching fact that the learned NFAC’s order has nowhere decided 2 ITA.No.1400/PUN./2023 the assessee’s substantive grounds on merits as contemplated u/sec.250(6) of the Act requiring it to give points for determination followed by a detailed discussion thereof. Faced with the situation, I deem it appropriate in the larger interest of justice to restore the assessee’s instant appeal back to the NFAC for it’s afresh adjudication, preferably within three effective opportunities of hearing, subject to the rider that it shall be the taxpayer’s onus and responsibility only to file and prove all the relevant facts in consequential proceedings. Ordered accordingly. 3. This assessee’s appeal is allowed for statistical purposes in above terms. Order pronounced in the open Court on 11.03.2024.
