Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2012-13 arises out of the order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] dated 31.03.2022 in the matter of an assessment framed by learned Assessing Officer u/s 143(3) on 19.12.2014. 2. In the assessment order dated 19.12.2014, the returned income was accepted. This order was rectified u/s 154 on 29.08.2017 enhancing the income of the assessee. The assessee preferred further appeal - 2 - against the same. However, the assessee failed to appear before Ld. CIT(A) which resulted into dismissal of the appeal. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us. 3. The Ld. AR pleaded for another opportunity of hearing which has been opposed by Ld. Sr. DR. 4. Though we concur with the submissions of Ld. Sr. DR that the assessee has remained negligent before Ld. CIT(A), however, keeping in view the principle of natural justice, we set-aside the impugned order and remit the matter back to the file of Ld. CIT(A) for denovo adjudication. The assessee is directed to substantiate its stand. 5. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced on 21 st July, 2022.
