1. Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2011-12
arises out of an order passed by Learned Commissioner of Income Tax
(Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] on
30-01-2023 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing
Officer [AO] on best judgment basis u/s 144 r.w.s 147 of the Act on 26-
12-2019.
2. The registry has noted a delay of 312 days in the appeal, the
condonation of which has been sought by Ld. AR on the strength of
affidavit of the assessee. Considering the contents of affidavit and period
of delay, the delay is condoned and we proceed with disposal of the
appeal on merits.
3. During hearing, Ld. AR has pleaded for another opportunity of
hearing which has been opposed by Ld. Sr. DR. In the assessment
order, Ld. AO made certain additions of cash deposits since the
assessee failed to make any representation therein. During appellate
proceedings, the assessee sought admission of additional evidences
which was rejected by Ld. CIT(A) and the assessment was confirmed.
Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us.
4. 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. Therefore, we set
aside the impugned order and restore the appeal back to the file of Ld.
CIT(A) for de novo adjudication after affording reasonable opportunity of
hearing to the assessee. The additional evidences shall be considered
by Ld. CIT(A). The assessee is directed to substantiate its case and
supply the requisite information forthwith failing which Ld. CIT(A) shall be
at liberty to proceed with disposal of appeal on merits on the basis of
material on record.
5. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes.
