Income Tax Officer vs M.K. Mohammed Kunhi on 11 September, 1968
This view is fortified by ratio laid down in the case of ITO v. M.K. Mohammed Kunhi (1969) 71 ITR 815 (SC), wherein it has been held that Tribunal has power identical to appellate court under C.P.C. We are of the view that once revenue is not able to get exact address of assessee, how it will follow the same, in case matter is decided in favour of revenue. In the facts and circumstances of the case, we have no alternative but to dismiss the appeal. However, revenue is all liberty to get this order recalled within reasonable time in case assessee is traced by the revenue.
