In the result, the appeal is dismissed.’’ 2.2 After hearing both the parties and perusing the materials available on record, it is noted that the assessee has not filed any submissions and evidences relating to the case before the ld. CIT(A) and thus the ld.CIT(A) has no other alternative except to confirm the action of the AO being the assessee remained ex-parte before the AO. It is also noted that the ld. AR of the assessee prayed for one more chance to contest the case before the AO while as the ld. DR relied on the order of the ld. CIT(A). The Bench feels that one more chance may be given to the Assessee to contest the case before the AO for afresh adjudication and the assessee will submit the necessary documents / evidences concerning the above mentioned appeal. However, for lethargic and negligent action on the part of the assessee, a cost of Rs.2,000/- is imposed on the assessee and the same may be deposited in the Prime Minister Relief Fund and copy of the same shall be submitted to the AO for proof and thus the appeal of the assessee is restored to the file of the AO to decide it afresh by providing one more opportunity of hearing. Thus, the assessee will not seek any adjournment on frivolous ground and remain cooperative during the 3 ITA NO.844/JP/2024 SHREE DHANLAXMI GRANITE VS ITO, WARD -1, KISHANGARH course of proceedings and the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. 2.3 Before parting, the Bench makes it clear that Bench decision to restore the matter back to the file of the AO shall in no way be construed as having any reflection or expression on the merits of the dispute, which shall be adjudicated by AO independently in accordance with law. 3.0 In the result, the appeal of the assesee is allowed for statistical purposes Order pronounced in the open court on 20 /08/2024.
