Valley Extraction Pvt. Ltd., Shimla vs Assessee
- CitationITA No.66 /Chd/2013
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Tribunal, having found that no Assessment Year notice of the 29.9.2014 hearing was shown to have been served (no AD card on record) and that the appeal had not been decided on merits, held that where the assessee has a reasonable explanation for non-appearance and the appeal has not been heard on merits, a further opportunity may be granted by recalling an order dismissing the appeal in default, and the appeal restored for hearing on merits without separate notice.

PER BHAVNESH SAINI, J.M. :
The applicant moved the present Miscellaneous
Application for recalling of the order dated 29.9.2014 through
which the appeal of the applicant was dismissed in default.
2. The learned counsel for applicant contended that no
notice have been served upon the applicant for the date of
hearing fixed on 29.9.2014. Therefore, the applicant has a
reasonable cause for failure to appear on the date of hearing.
3. The record reveals that though notice was issued by the
office for 29.9.2014 but AD Card is not available on record. 2
Further the appeal of the applicant has not been decided on
merit. Therefore, considering the explanation of the
applicant, we are of the view that one more chance could be
given to the applicant to argue the appeal on merits.
3. We accordingly recall our earlier order dated
29.9.2014 and restore the appeal of the applicant. The
office is directed to fix the appeal of the applicant for hearing
on merits on 16.7.2015, for which date no separate notice will
be issued to the applicant.
4. In the result, the Miscellaneous Application filed by
the applicant is allowed.
Order pronounced in the open court on this 17th day of
April, 2015.
