In the interest of justice, we are inclined to give an opportunity to the assessee to place its case before the Ld. CIT(A) as the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) is an ex- parte order. Accordingly, the record of the assessee is hereby restored in the file of Ld. CIT(A) for fresh adjudication by giving an opportunity to place the documents in support of his case. In the result, the appeal filed by the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
