Pr. Commissioner Of Income Tax ... vs Vijay Arjundas Luthra on 23 September, 2019
7. At the outset, it is noticed that the case of assessee has been
dismissed on ex-parte basis, as the assessee had sought only adjournment 4
times, without making any substantive submission before the Ld. CIT(A). In the
present matter, as observed from the order of Ld. CIT(A), there was no
adjudication on merits even on the basis of material and facts available on
record, no enquiries which could have been made by the Ld. CIT(A) so as to
arrive to a logical conclusion regarding the justification of disallowance /
addition made in the intimation passed by CPC u/s 143(1) of the Act. On this
issue, assessee had placed its reliance on CIT vs. Premkumar Arjundas
Luthra (HUF) reported in [2016] 240 taxman 133 and rightly so, as Hon'ble
Bombay High Court in the said decision had enlightened about duties of First
Appellate Authority with the observation that "he is obliged to make such further

inquiry that he thinks fit or direct the Assessing Officer to make further inquiry and report the
result of the same to him as found in Section 250(4) of the Act. Further Section 250(6) of the
Act obliges the CIT(A) to dispose of an appeal in writing after stating the points for
determination and then render a decision on each of the points which arise for consideration
with reasons in support".
National Thermal Power Co. Ltd. vs Commissioner Of Income Tax on 4 December, 1996
In our view, the decision of the Hon'ble
Supreme Court in the case of National Thermal Power Company Ltd. Ltd. Vs.
CIT (supra) provides that any legal issue which goes to the root of the matter and
is established through legal principles, the assessee can take up and raise such
legal issue at any appellate forum irrespective of whether the assessee had raised
such legal issue at the sub-ordinate level or not, however, it always depends on
facts and circumstances of each case whether the Tribunal would decide the legal
ground or in a case where the question is of natural justice and ex-parte order by
the Ld. CIT(Appeals) the Tribunal would remand it back to Ld. CIT(Appeals)
providing final opportunity to a bonafide assessee. The Tribunal as the highest
fact finding authority must be certain enough that the impugned order before it
has been passed on merits and is a speaking order where the assessee has also
complied during the process of litigation. In case, where the order of the Ld.
CIT(Appeals) itself is ex-parte and some legal ground is raised and if the Tribunal
decides such legal ground where in fact principles of natural justice is left
unanswered due to the fact that the impugned order before the Tribunal is ex-
parte and there was no compliance by the assessee in such scenario the Tribunal
would also be usurping the power of the Ld. CIT(Appeals) which is also a statutory
authority as per the Act. This is due to the reason that as per framework of the
Act, Ld. CIT(Appeals) is the first appellate authority where an appeal by assessee
it would be substantially decided through a speaking order by the Ld.
CIT(Appeals). When this part is over and either party is aggrieved second appeal
lies before the ITAT.
