The grounds of appeal of the assessee are as under: -

“1. On facts and in circumstances of the case and in law, on receipt of ex parte assessment order under section 144, the assessee did not have correct advice and the reasons for delay of her serious illness were not disclosed correctly in from 35 and therefore could not be filed correctly in appeal at Ld. CIT-A in time hence condonation in filling first appeal may kindly be condoned. 2. On facts and in circumstances of the case and in law CIT (A) should have held that Ld. AO erred in reopening assessment us. 147 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 on the basis of third party information in mechanical way and hence reassessment proceeding was bad in law. The assessment order and CIT (A) order is bad in law for other reasons too. 3. On facts and in circumstances of the case and in law, the assessee was not required to file the return of income as her income was below taxable limit. 4. On facts and in circumstances of the case and in law, on receipt of notice under section 148 the assessee did not have correct advice and therefore could not furnish correct information and explanation of her

On facts and in circumstances of the case and in law, as the property sold was in joint name of assessee and her mother and by applying cost of inflation index and other development cost the income in form of capital gain in hands of each joint owner was below taxable -limit henceforth addition made of full sales consideration of land held jointly in assessee name only was beyond law and hence addition of Rs26,49,500/- should have been deleted by CIT(A) 6. On facts and in circumstances of the case and in law, Ld. AO should have appreciated that a joint property’s (in assessee and mother name full sales consideration cannot be capital gain as added to income of Rs26,49,500/- besides addition of income from other sources of Rs2,00,500 (being difference of cash deposition and full sales consideration). Ld. CIT-A has erred in confirming the assessment order with addition. 7. On facts and in circumstances of the case and in law, Ld. CIT -A erred in having ' ignoring the fact that AO was duly in possession of Tehsildar report regarding location of land as sold during the assessment proceeding and hence CIT -A should have appreciated the gross injustice happening to the assessee and should have condoned the delay so that the assessment can take place on merits. 8) CIT(A) erred in ignoring the fact that AO has proposed re-opening under section 147 on the basis of escaped income of cash deposition of RS 13,24,500 and has made addition of Rs 28,50,000/- beyond act, law and natural justice.” (2) At the time of hearing, the Ld.
