Facts Summary

The assessee, Chandrakant Babaldas Patel, filed appeals against separate orders of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) concerning different assessment years. The appeals were heard together due to identical facts and issues. The assessee did not challenge any additions made by the lower authorities and the grounds of appeal were general. The assessee also appealed against penalties levied for non-compliance of notices issued under section 142(1) of the Act. The assessee argued that the notices were not communicated properly and he was unaware of the penalties until later. The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeals and found that the penalties were unjustified.
