2 would be, in fact, giving the assessee a second round which should not be granted.
A perusal of the impugned order passed by the Id. CIT(A) at page 4, shows that the assessee has not cooperated in the appellate proceedings However, ld. AR before us requested for one more opportunity to produce the documents before the ld.CIT(A) to file all the details as required.
