Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2014-15 arises out of an order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] dated 13.02.2024 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing Officer [AO] u/s. 143(3) r.w.s 92CA of the Act on 28.12.2017. In the assessment order, Ld. AO made addition of purchases and labour expenses. The assessee failed to make any effective representation during first appellate proceedings and accordingly, the assessment was confirmed. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us. The Ld. AR has prayed for another opportunity of hearing which has been opposed by Ld. Sr. DR. 2. Though the assessee has remained negligent, however, keeping in mind the principle of natural justice, we deem it fit to grant another opportunity to the assessee to substantiate its case. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the appeal is restored back to the file of Ld. CIT(A) for de novo adjudication with a direction to the assessee to substantiate its case failing which Ld. CIT(A) shall be at liberty to proceed with disposal of appeal on merits on the basis of material on record. 3. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes.
