Hi,

The assessee has appointed the CA  in  utmost good faith to represent him for Income tax proceeding before the IT authority. The CA has failed to perform his duties and there is penalty . in this case who will be held responsible for the negligence of the CA? Also provide  some case Laws.

 

Thanks
