GANESAN, JUDICIAL MEMBER: This appeal of the assessee is directed against the order of the Dispute Resolution Panel dated 28.12.2015 and pertains to assessment year 2011-12. 2 I.T.A. No.439/Mds/16 2. This appeal was posted on various dates right from 02.05.2016. Finally it was posted on 31.10.2016. At the request of Ld. representative for the assessee, the appeal was adjourned to 13.12.2016. Since 13.12.2016 was declared as closed holiday on account of Milad-E-Nabi, it was adjourned to 14.12.2016 and notice was served by RPAD. On 14.12.2016, no one appeared for the assessee, therefore, notice was issued by RPAD for hearing on 06.02.2017. When the appeal was taken up for hearing on 06.02.2017, no one appeared for the assessee inspite of service of notice. 3. There may be various reasons for the assessee for not appearing before this Tribunal when the appeal was taken up for hearing. One of the reasons, presumably, the assessee may not be interested in prosecuting the appeal. Whatever may be the reason, by keeping the proviso to Rule 24 of Income Tax (Appellate Tribunal) Rules, 1963, in mind, the appeal of the assessee is dismissed for non-prosecution. However, it is made clear that it is open to the assessee to move to this Tribunal for recall of this order provided there was sufficient cause on the part of the assessee for 3 I.T.A. No.439/Mds/16 non-appearing before this Tribunal on 06.02.2017 when the appeal was taken up for hearing. 4. With the above observation, the appeal of the assessee is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open court on 6 th February, 2017 at Chennai. sd/- sd/- (अ ाहम पी.जॉज& ) (एन.आर.एस. गणेशन) (Abraham P. George) (N.R.S.
