IN THE INCOME TAX APPELLATE TRIBUNAL DELHI BENCH ‘SMC’ : NEW DELHI BEFORE SHRI SHAMIM YAHYA, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER ITA No.2923/DEL/2023 (Assessment Year: 2012-13) Dharamvir Singh Hooda, vs. ITO, Ward 1, 174, Wadhawa Ram Colony, Panipat. Tehsil Camp, Panipat – 132 103 (Haryana). (PAN : AAIPH9491A) (APPELLANT) (RESPONDENT) ASSESSEE BY : None REVENUE BY : Shri Om Prakash, Sr. DR Date of Hearing : 28.02.2024 Date of Order : 04.03.2024 ORDER This appeal by the assessee is directed against the order of the ld. CIT (Appeals)/National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC) dated 19.08.2023 for the assessment year 2012-13. 2. At the outset, I note that order of the AO as well as order of the ld. CIT (A) are ex-parte order. Although authorities below have noted that opportunities have been provided to the assessee but the assessee did not avail the same. In these circumstances, cash deposit in the bank was added to the assessee’s income. I further note that ld. CIT (A) has taken further adverse inference on account of non-prosecution of appeal by the assessee. 2 ITA No.2923/DEL/2023 In my considered opinion, interest of justice would be served if the matter is remanded to the file of AO. AO shall give one more opportunity to the assessee to canvass the case and thereafter AO shall pass an order according to law. 3. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the open court on this 4 th day of March, 2024.
