Issues: Whether the ex parte appellate order and the assessment required interference on the ground of denial of opportunity of hearing, warranting remand to the first appellate authority.
Analysis: The appeal was filed with delay, but the delay was condoned on the basis of sufficient cause and absence of mala fides. On merits, the assessee asserted that he was not conversant with the e-proceedings regime and had not properly responded to the notices. In these circumstances, and considering that the appeal before the first appellate authority had been dismissed for non-compliance, the Tribunal found that one more opportunity should be afforded. The matter was therefore restored to the file of the first appellate authority for fresh adjudication after granting an effective opportunity of hearing.
Conclusion: The assessee succeeded on the limited question of remand, and the impugned appellate order was set aside for fresh consideration by the first appellate authority.
Final Conclusion: The controversy was not finally decided on the tax additions, and the appeal was disposed of by remitting the matter for de novo consideration after due hearing.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a taxpayer has not been afforded an effective opportunity of hearing in appellate proceedings, the matter may be restored for fresh adjudication in order to secure substantial justice.
