Ompal Singh, a villager from Ghaziabad, faced a daunting capital gain tax assessment for the A.Y. 2009-10, challenging the procedural and substantive aspects of his income tax assessment.
The case involves the sale of agricultural land with the transaction challenged under various legal and procedural grounds. The primary focus was on the alleged failure of the tax authorities to adhere to proper legal processes, impacting the assessment’s fairness.
Ompal Singh challenged the assessment order under ITA No. 268/DEL/2019, arguing significant procedural failures, including inadequate notice and opportunities for representation, which he claimed violated principles of natural justice.
The tribunal recognized potential procedural oversights, especially concerning the appellant’s ability to participate in the process. Medical emergencies cited by the appellant contributed to delays in appeal filings, which the tribunal considered in deciding to remand the case back to the CIT(A) for a comprehensive re-evaluation on merits.
This case highlights the critical nature of procedural fairness in tax assessments and the impact of personal circumstances on legal proceedings. The decision to remand the case opens avenues for re-assessment under more equitable conditions, emphasizing the importance of justice and fairness in tax proceedings.
