2015 (10) TMI 2827 - AT - Income TaxNon-appearance before the Tribunal on the date of hearing by assessee - HELD THAT:- As none appeared on behalf of the assessee though the notice was sent through RPAD. The notice has been sent on the address given on Form No.36. The assessee has not intimated change of address, if any, to the Tribunal. There is not even an adjournment petition received from the assessee. Assessee is not interested in pursuing these appeals, and no useful purpose would be served by adjourning the hearing. Considering these facts and keeping in mind the provisions of Rule 19(2) of the ITAT Rules, as were considered in the case of Multiplan India [1991 (5) TMI 120 - ITAT DELHI-D] and in view of the decision of Estate of Late Tukoji Rao Holkar, [1996 (3) TMI 92 - MADHYA PRADESH HIGH COURT] we dismiss these appeals in limine. However, if the assessee on a later stage gives explanation in regard to its non-appearance before the Tribunal on the date of hearing before the Tribunal by filing a Miscellaneous Application as per the ITAT Rules and if the Bench is so satisfied these appeals of the assessee can be recalled for hearing on merit.
