2.

I have heard the ld.

DR and perused the relevant material on record.

There is no appearance from the side of the assessee despite several notices.

As such, I am proceeding to dispose of the appeal ex parte qua the assessee.

Appellant by None Respondent by Shri V.K.

Singh Date of hearing 03-01-2020 Date of pronouncement 03-01-2020 ITA No.1120/PUN/2019 M/s.

Ltd., 2 3.

It is seen that the ld.

CIT(A) has passed the order ex-parte qua the assessee.

The assessee has raised a ground to the effect that the ld.

CIT(A) did not give reasonable opportunity of hearing to the assessee and dismissed the appeal.

In view of the foregoing facts, I am of the considered opinion that the ends of justice would meet adequately if the impugned order is set-aside and the matter is restored to the file of ld.

CIT(A).

I order accordingly and direct the ld.

CIT(A) to decide the appeal afresh as per law after allowing a reasonable opportunity of being heard to the assessee.

4.

In the result, the appeal is allowed for statistical purposes.

Order pronounced in the Open Court on 03rd January, 2020.
