The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) should have provided an adequate opportunity to the assessee before deciding the appeal ex parte, especially since the absence was for a reasonable cause. The action of the CIT(A) was not sustainable.

Since the AO did not address the original reason for reopening, the reassessment was deemed to be without jurisdiction.

The Tribunal found that the assessee had sufficiently explained and reconciled the cash balance of Rs. 8,12,358/- belonging to M/s. Desan Road Services (HUF) with the seized amount. Therefore, this amount could not be treated as the assessee's undisclosed income.
The Tribunal held that the AO could not disallow the entire purchase amount without reducing sales or stock. Since the assessee confirmed purchases and sales were accounted for, only the profit embedded in the sales could be added.
