2010 (11) TMI 1133 - AT - Income Tax

Issues involved: Assessment years 1994-95 & 1995-96, appeals against orders of CIT(A)-V at Chennai u/s 143(3) read with section 263 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Summary:

Issue 1: Non-prosecution of appeals
The Tribunal initially discussed the appeals for non-prosecution in 2006, leading to restoration petitions by the assessee. Subsequently, the appeals were heard and disposed of. The Revenue later filed Rectification Petitions for rectifying a mistake in the Tribunal's order regarding the treatment of interest income. Despite multiple instances, the assessee failed to appear for hearings, leading to dismissal of the appeals for want of prosecution.

Issue 2: Adjournment request
During the hearing, the assessee's Counsel sought an adjournment citing being out of station for professional work. However, the Tribunal dismissed the adjournment petition due to lack of convincing details and the prolonged nature of the appeals.

In conclusion, the Tribunal dismissed the appeals due to the assessee's consistent non-appearance and failure to present the case adequately, emphasizing the importance of complying with legal requirements.
