Section 250(6) IT Act | Ex-Parte Appellate Orders Without Reasoning Violate Natural Justice: ITAT Delhi
The ITAT Delhi has held that dismissing a tax appeal ex-parte without addressing merits or providing reasons violates Section 250(6) of the Income Tax Act, which mandates reasoned appellate orders. This ruling reinforces that procedural fairness cannot be sacrificed even when notices are allegedly missed, and sets a precedent for taxpayers facing technical dismissals due to administrative or personal hardship.
