Accordingly, in both assessment years, the ld. AO issued notices under section 148. There was no compliance to the notices under section 148. Therefore, the ld. AO issued notices under section 142(1) on three occasions. Upon the failure to receive any compliance, a show cause notice under section 144 was issued to the assessee and upon failure to receive compliance to the same, orders were passed under section 147 r.w.s. 144 and section 144B of the Income Tax Act on 20.03.2022 in the A.Y. 2013-14 and 21.03.2022 in the A.Y. 2014-15.

AR') appeared on behalf of the assessee and argued the case. It was submitted that the assessee was working in Saudi Arabia from 1997 till 2018. During the years under consideration, the assessee did not come to India, however since the family of the assessee reside in India, he used to remit a portion of his income back to India for utilization of the same by his parents.

It was submitted that since the order had been passed without taking material evidences available on record, the impugned orders were in violation of the principles of natural justice and therefore, void. In support of this argument, our attention was invited to the following decisions:- i. ACIT vs. Balmiki Prasad Singh, 2018 (9) TMI 1936 - SC. ii. Nabco Products Pvt. Ltd. vs. Union of India & Others Writ Tax No.997 of 2022 (Allahabad) dated 3.08.2022. iii. Emco Cables (India) Private Limited vs. Union of India & Others, W.T.(C) 1622/2024 and C.M.
