Before us, the Ld. AO submitted that the Ld. CIT(A) order was not justified in confirming the addition made by the Ld. AO and ignoring the additional evidence and evidences furnished by the assessee, during the course of proceedings. He has further argued that the action of the Ld. AO in adopting stamp duty value for determining the cost of construction without referring the matter to the DVO was contrary to the legal provisions. In view of these facts, Ld. AR requested for remand back of the order to Ld. Jurisdictional Officer for fresh verification in the light of documentary evidences filed by the assessee. Ld. DR has also not controverted the said proposition. 5. After hearing both the parties and, in the interest of justice, we deem it appropriate to restore the matter to the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer for fresh assessment after due verification of the evidences filed by the assessee. Needless to add the assessee should be given reasonable opportunity of being heard. 6. In the result, appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
