Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us. The Ld. AR has sought another opportunity of hearing which has been opposed by Ld. CIT-DR.
Though the assessee has remained negligent, however, keeping in mind the principle of natural justice, we deem it fit to grant another opportunity to the assessee to substantiate its case. Therefore, we set aside the impugned order and restore the matter back to the file of Ld. CIT(E) for de novo consideration of the application after affording reasonable opportunity of hearing to the assessee. The assessee is directed to substantiate its case and supply the requisite information.
