4. Ld. DR relied upon the orders of Ld. CIT(E).
5. We have heard Ld. DR and perused the records. We find that it was the contention of the applicant that CIT(E) has not considered the details submitted by the assessee in response to their query / questionnaire and not responded and / or asked for any further details. It was also contended that the assessee was neither given proper / sufficient /fair / reasonable and meaningful opportunity and time nor discussed the case on the lines stated to explain / clarify the things on any unilateral reservation/ observation. Keeping in view of the aforesaid factual matrix and in the interest of justice, the matter is remanded back to the file of the Ld.

However, Applicant is directed to furnish the complete details/ evidences before the Ld. CIT(E) in accordance with law. Ld. DR fairly agreed to this proposition. We hold and direct accordingly.
