The learned Commissioner of Income- tax(Appeals) ought to have provided further opportunity to make payment of tax on the admitted income before deciding the appeal.” 3. The adjournment sought by the assessee has been rejected. 4. On going to the record, we find that there has been a delay of 335 days in filing the appeal before the ld CIT(A). The ld CIT(A) summarily dismissed the appeal of the assessee on the grounds that two medical certificates filed by the assessee are primarily not verifiable and even if considered to be genuine there has been a further considerable delay. 5. Since, the appeal of the assessee has been summarily dismissed, we hereby direct that the reasons for delay shall be considered de novo, followed by a speaking order on merits of the case. 6. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. Order Pronounced in the Open Court on 20/07/2022. Sd/- Sd/- (Anubhav Sharma) (Dr. B. R. R.
