This appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the order of
the learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-1, Madurai in I.T.A

:- 2 -:
2. When this appeal was taken up for hearing, the learned counsel
for the assessee has submitted that assessee could not appear before
the Ld. CIT(A) and also not able to file relevant details as the
circumstances were beyond his control. He further prayed that all the
details are available with the assessee hence, one more opportunity
may be given to the assessee to substantiate his case before the Ld.
CIT(A).
3. On the other hand, the learned Departmental Representative has
strongly supported the orders of the authorities below.
4. We have heard both the sides, perused the materials available on
record and gone through the orders of the authorities below.
5. We find that the Ld. CIT(A) has passed an ex-parte order by
observing that the assessee has not filed any documentary evidence to
substantiate his case. By considering the submissions of the assessee,
in the interest of justice and also by following the principles of natural
justice, we are of the opinion that one more opportunity should be given
to the assessee to substantiate his case before the Ld. CIT(A).
Accordingly, the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) is set aside and remit
the matter back to the file of the Ld. CIT(A) to adjudicate this appeal
denovo in accordance with law, after giving reasonable opportunity to
I.T.A No.607/Chny/2020

CIT(A) on the date of hearing without fail. In view of the above, the
appeal filed by the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
