Ld.CIT(A) in support of its grounds of appeals. Ld. DR did not object to the request made by ld. Counsel for the assessee. 3. I have heard the rival contentions and perused the record placed before me. I note that the assessee is a private limited company and did not filed regular return of income for AY 2017- 18. After issuance of valid notice u/s.148 of the Act, Ld.Assessing officer passed the best judgement as the assesse did not made proper compliance. Ld.AO made addition of Rs.18,30,420/- against which assessee preferred appeal before Ld.CIT(A) but again failed to respond to various notices issued by Ld.CIT(A). Before me Ld.Counsel for the assesse has prayed for affording one of more opportunity to plead before Ld.CIT(A). 4. I find that ld.CIT(A) has not decided the issues raised in the instant appeal on merits, therefore considering the prayer made by ld. Counsel for the assessee and in the larger interest of justice, I deem it proper to restore the issues on merits back to the file ld. CIT(A) for denovo adjudication. In view thereof, without dwelling into merits of the issue, the issues raised in the instant appeal are being remitted to the file of ld.CIT(A). Needless to mention that ld.CIT(A) in the set aside proceedings shall provide reasonable opportunity of hearing to the assessee and consider the documents/evidences to be filed by the assessee and pass a speaking order as contemplated u/s.250(6) of the Act. Assessee is directed to update email and contact details on the ITBA portal. Assessee is also directed to remain vigilant and not to take adjournment unless otherwise required for reasonable cause, failing which the ld.CIT(A) shall be free to proceed in accordance with law. Finding of the Ld.CIT(A) is set aside and
