I have heard learned counsel appearing for the assesee and learned Departmental Representative. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the assessee that notice of hearing relating to the appeal was received by the assessee after the date of hearing. In fact, averment to similar effect has been made in the miscellaneous application. Considering the above, I am of the view that the non-appearance of the assessee on the date of hearing of appeal was due to reasonable cause. That being the case, in exercise of power conferred under rule 24 of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal Rules. I am inclined to recall the order dated 15.10.2020 passed in ITA No. 2231/Mum/2019 and 2 M.A. No. 200/MUM/2021 Assessment Years: 2010-11 restore the appeal to its original position. Registry is directed to post the appeal for hearing before the assigned Bench in regular course after due intimation to the parties. 3. In the result, miscellaneous application is allowed.
