Debendra Kumar Sahoo, the appellant, filed an appeal against the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) (CIT(A)) for the assessment year 2012-2013.

The Tribunal considered the submissions and found that the assessee failed to comply with the notices, leading to the disposal of the appeal based on available records.
