This being so, in the interest of justice, we grant the assessee one more opportunity to substantiate its claim before the Assessing Officer by restoring the issues in these appeals to the file of Assessing Officer for de novo adjudication after providing the assessee adequate opportunity of being heard. The assessee shall cooperate in the re-adjudication proceedings before the Assessing Officer positively.

In the result, all the appeals of the assessee are partly allowed for statistical purposes. Order pronounced in the open court on 30/04/2026.
