ITA No. 1419/DEL/2024 [A.Y. 2018-19]
“1. That the impugned assessment order and impugned CIT(A) order are illegal, bad in law and without juri iction and hence the orders are liable to be quashed.
2. That the addition of Rs 94,71,91,200/- made by the AO and upheld by the CIT(A) is illegal, bad in law and liable to be deleted.
3. That Sec 68 has been wrongly and illegally invoked against the appellant assessee while making addition of Rs 94,71,91,200/-. The addition of Rs 94,71,91,200/- is illegal and should be deleted.
4. That on the facts and circumstances of the case, this is a clear case of double addition and double taxation of the same credits twice and the same is illegal and not permissible under the Income Tax Act,
1961. 5. That the additions of both Rs 55,01,85,600/- and Rs
39,70,05,600/- (both part of Rs 94,71,91,200/-) is illegal, bad in law and are liable to be deleted.
6. That the various observations made in the assessment order and CIT(A) order are illegal, bad in law and against the facts on record and hence the impugned orders are liable to be quashed.
7. That the lower authorities have failed to appreciate the business model of the appellant and hence the additions that are made are illegal and liable to be deleted.
8. That the orders passed by the lower authorities are passed in gross violation of principles of natural justice and hence the impugned orders are liable to be set aside.
ITA No. 1419/DEL/2024 [A.Y. 2018-19]
12. That the appellant prays to add, amend, alter the grounds of appeal.”
At the very outset, the ld. counsel for the assessee vehemently stated that the ld. CIT(A) passed the ex-parte order without providing reasonable and sufficient opportunity of being heard to the assessee. It is the say of the ld. counsel for the assessee that the principles of natural justice were violated by the ld. CIT(A). 4. Per contra, the ld. DR relied on the orders of the Assessing Officer and the ld. CIT(A). 5. We have heard the rival submissions and have perused the relevant materials on record. We find that the CIT(A) has confirmed the addition made by the assessing officer on the ground that the assessee did not respond to the notices issued by the CIT(A). We
ITA No. 1419/DEL/2024 [A.Y. 2018-19]
6. The ld. CIT(A) is accordingly, directed to adjudicate the issues afresh after affording a reasonable and adequate opportunity of being heard to the assessee. The assessee is also directed to provide necessary information/documents/evidences as required by the ld. CIT(A).
7. In the result, appeal of the assessee in ITA No. 1419/DEL/2024 is allowed for statistical purposes.
The order is pronounced in the open court on 20.11.2025. [CHALLA NAGENDRA PRASAD]
