1. Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY 2012-13
arises out of an order passed by Learned Commissioner of Income Tax
(Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] on
05-02-2024 in the matter of an assessment framed by Ld. Assessing
Officer [AO] u/s 143(3) r.w.s 147 of the Act on 16-12-2019. The
assessee has failed to appear during first appellate proceeding. In the
assessment order, Ld. AO made addition of unexplained investment.
The Ld. CIT(A) granted partial relief to the assessee. Aggrieved, the
assessee is in further appeal before us. During hearing, Ld. AR has
pleaded 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. 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 assessee is directed to substantiate its
case and supply the requisite information forthwith failing which Ld.
CIT(A) would 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.
