The Assessing Officer got information that the assessee had during the relevant assessment year under consideration received a total amount of Rs.99,00,000/- from one M/s Long View Tie Up Pvt Ltd.

4.

Aggrieved and dissatisfied, the assessee is in appeal before us. At the time of hearing, the Ld. AR without going into the merits of the case submitted that the ld. CIT(A) has passed the impugned order without affording reasonable opportunity of being heard. The Ld. AR therefore prayed for one fresh opportunity to be given to produce relevant details/documents to prove his case.

5.

The Ld. DR did not make any objection to the above proposal of the ld. AR.

6.

We have considered the submissions of the counsels of the respective parties and perused the material available on record. We find that the assessee failed to produce relevant documentary evidences and during the appellate proceedings, the ld. CIT(A) passed the impugned order without providing reasonable opportunity of hearing. Under the circumstances and on the request of the assessee, in the interest of natural justice, we deem it appropriate to remand the matter back to the file of Assessing Officer with the direction to adjudicate the matter afresh after considering the documentary evidences/details which will be submitted by the assessee during the remand proceedings. The assessee is directed to fully cooperate in the remand proceedings by producing supporting documents/details to substantiate the claim of the assessee.
