Assessee by: None

PER U.B.S. BEDI, J.M.

This appeal of the Revenue emanates from the order passed by the CIT (A), Meerut, dated 08.09.2011, relevant to assessment year 2006-07.

2. Despite having noted the adjourned date on last date of hearing by the Ld.AR of the assessee, assessee did not appear at the time when the case was called up nor any adjournment request is received. Thus, it is inferred that the assessee is not interested in prosecution of the present appeal.

3. Having regard to Rule 19(2) of ITAT Rules, 1963 and following various decisions of the Tribunal including in the case of CIT vs. Multiplan India (P) Ltd., reported in 38 ITD 320 (Del.) and the judgment of Hon’ble Madhya Pradesh High Court in the case of Estate of late Tukojirao Holkar vs. CWT, 223 I.T.R. 480 (MP), we treat the appeal of the assessee as unadmitted and dismiss the same.

4. In the result, the appeal filed by the assessee is dismissed for want of prosecution.

Order pronounced in open court soon after the conclusion of the hearing on 19.06.2012.
