1.

2.

On hearing both the sides, we find that after arguing the appeals at some length with regard to the additional grounds raised by the assessee questioning the impugned assessment order on the basis of being barred by limitation, it was further contended that Ld.CIT(A) has decided the appeals ex-parte without being giving due opportunity of hearing to the assessee.

3.

Ld.AR has also pointed out that the assessee intended to raise questions with regard to admissibility of electronic evidences but came could not be raised. After going through the impugned order passed by Ld. CIT(A), we find that although in the order of Ld.CIT(A), all notices issued to the assessee are mentioned. However, looking to the mode of service the ends of justice, requires an opportunity to contest on merits as well as questions of law which are also raised before us.

4.

The issues on merits and the legal issues as now raised are restored to the file of Ld.CIT(A) to provide reasonable opportunity of hearing and decide the appeals afresh in accordance with law.

5.

In the result, captioned appeals of the assessee are allowed for statistical purposes.
