Heard both the parties at length. Case files perused.
Learned counsel submits that on account of communication gaps at various levels, the assessee could not appear to plead and prove all the relevant facts, the corresponding mitigating circumstances involving cash payments and loan herewith etc. in both the lower proceedings and therefore, in the larger interest of justice met in case, the matter(s) be restored back to the Assessing Officer.
This is indeed coupled with the facts that there is also no effective compliance to section 250(6) of the Act in the impugned lower appellate order stipulating points of determination to be framed followed by a detailed adjudication thereupon. It is therefore deemed appropriate in the larger interest of justice to set aside the assessee’s instant all four appeals back to the learned Assessing Officer for his afresh appropriate adjudication, within three effective opportunities of
