2 ITA No. 3632/Del/2026 Green Park Free Church
submissions made by the appellant and further that wrongly
concluded that the appellant did not furnish the requisite
documents without granting adequate and effective opportunity
to the appellant to furnish other details.
Having regard to this particular aspect of the matter, the
Learned Counsel for the assessee submitted before us that the
issue be set aside to the file of the Ld.CIT(E) for his consideration
afresh since the assessee has already filed all these documents,
copy whereof have already been annexed to the paper book filed
before us which was not considered in its proper perspective and
therefore, such prayer made by the Learned Counsel has not
been objected by the Ld. DR.
Having heard the Learned Counsels appearing for the
parties and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the
matter particularly the requisite documents though furnished
before the Ld. CIT(E) which were not found to have been
considered in its proper perspective in order to prevent the
miscarriage of justice the appeal is set aside to the file of the Ld.
CIT(E) for consideration of the same afreshupon granting an
opportunity of being heard to the assessee and upon considering
3 ITA No. 3632/Del/2026 Green Park Free Church
the evidence on record or any other evidence which the assessee
may choose to file at the time of hearing of the matter.
In the result the appeal filed by the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
Order pronounced in the open court on 14/09/2026.
