Being aggrieved and dissatisfied the assessee preferred an appeal before us.
The Ld. AR instead of arguing into the merit of the case has only prayed that the assessee has to give an opportunity to furnish all the details as asked by the Ld. CIT(E).
Contrary to that the ld. D.R did not raise any objection.
On perusal of the order of Ld. CIT(E ), it appears to us the Ld.

Before us, the assessee has submitted that the assessee is ready to submit all the documents as required by the Ld. CIT(E ) for registration. Keeping in view, the submission made by the assessee and the order passed by the Ld. CIT(E ), we are inclined to restore the appeal back to the file of Ld.

In the result, the appeal filed by the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
Order is pronounced in the open court on 2nd July, 2025
