As the appeal can be decided in the absence of the assessee, after hearing the ld ITA No.368/CTK/2023 Assessment Year : 2014-15 Page2 | 3 3. I have heard the rival submissions. A perusal of the order of the ld CIT(A) shows that the appeal has been dismissed for non-representation and as such, the assessee has not been able to produce any documents to substantiate his claim. Also a perusal of the assessment order shows that the assessee has been non-cooperative before the Assessing Officer despite given various opportunities, therefore, the assessment has been completed u/s.147/144 of the Act. In view of above, it is evident that the assessee is non-compliant of the income tax proceedings before the Assessing officer as well as before the ld CIT(A). However, in order to meet the ends of justice, I feel it proper to remit the matter back to the Assessing Officer to give another opportunity to the assessee to file the required documents for denovo assessment as per law. With these directions, the appeal is restored to the file of the AO. 4. In the result, appeal of the assessee is partly allowed for statistical purposes. Order dictated and pronounced in the open court on 14/03/2024.
