I have heard the ld. DR and perused the relevant material on record. There is no appearance from the side of assessee despite notice. Rule 24 of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Rules, 1963 provides that where the appeal has been disposed of ex parte for the default of the appellant and later on the assessee satisfies the Tribunal that there was sufficient cause for his non-appearance, the M.A.No.05/PUN/2021 Sagar Uttam Murhe 2 Tribunal shall make an order setting aside the ex parte order and restoring the appeal. The assessee has filed an affidavit giving reasons as to why he could not participate in the proceedings before the Tribunal on the scheduled date. In view of the affidavit submitted by the assessee and the other attending circumstances, I am satisfied that the assessee was prevented by a reasonable cause. As such, the impugned order is recalled and the appeal is directed to be fixed for hearing on 07.03.2022, as was announced in the Virtual Court on the conclusion of the hearing. 3. In the result, the Miscellaneous application is allowed. Order pronounced in the Open Court on 21 st January, 2022. /- Sd/- (R.S.SYAL) VICE PRESIDENT प ु णे Pun; दनांक Dated : 21 st January, 2022.
