Therefore, the impugned order is set aside and the matter is remanded back to the file of the AO to be decided after considering the outcome of the aforesaid referred to appeal.
In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes. (Order Pronounced in the Open Court on 24/09/2018)
