The appeals were remitted back to the office of the Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) for fresh adjudication due to the appellant's absence and pending registration application u/s 12AA. The tribunal emphasized fair consideration of the registration application and providing the appellant with an opportunity to present their case.

Issues: Cross appeals against order dated 3.7.2013 passed by the Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-Meerut for assessment year 2009-10.
Analysis:
Issue 1: Adjournment Request and Remittal of Appeals The appellant was absent during the hearing, and a letter requested an adjournment as the Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemption) Lucknow was yet to issue an order on the application for registration u/s 12AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The 'F' Bench of ITAT Delhi had remitted the issue back for reconsideration. The tribunal, after considering the circumstances, decided to remit both appeals to the office of the Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) to be adjudicated de novo after reviewing the outcome of the registration application.
Issue 2: Restoration of Appeals Both appeals were restored to the file of the Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) for fresh adjudication, ensuring the appellant gets an opportunity to present its case and taking into account the decision on the application for registration u/s 12AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The appeals were allowed for statistical purposes.
The judgment emphasized the importance of considering the pending application for registration u/s 12AA in the decision-making process and ensuring a fair opportunity for the appellant to present their case. The decision to remit the appeals back for fresh adjudication reflects the tribunal's commitment to due process and fairness in tax matters.
