At the outset, ld. Counsel for the assessee prayed that the orders of both the authorities below are ex-parte. The reason for this was that assessee’s wife was suffering from Kidney failure, hence assessee could not devote time to comply with the income-tax matters. He prayed that an 2 ITA No.67/DEL/2024 opportunity may be given to the assessee to submit necessary papers before the AO. 4. Per contra, ld. DR for the Revenue did not have any serious objection to this proposition. 5. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, we remit the issue to the file of AO. AO shall decide the issue afresh after giving the assessee proper opportunity of being heard. 6. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the open court on this 5 th day of April, 2024.
