That order passed u/s 250 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 by the Learned Joint Commissioner of 212-Chd-2024 Bhagwan Dass Jassal, Amb 2 Income Tax (Appeals)-9, Mumbai is against law and facts on the file in as much the Learned JCIT (Appeals) was not justified to decide the appeal ex-parte. 2. That the Learned JCIT (Appeals) was not justified to uphold the action of the Learned Assessing Officer in making an addition of Rs. 15,12,112/- on account of long-term capital gain by resort to provisions of Section 50C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. 3. That the very action of the Learned Assessing Officer in resorting to provisions of Section 148 is bad in law. 3. At the very outset, the ld.

CIT(A), the Assessee did not file submissions nor anybody appeared on behalf of the Assessee. Although the CIT(A) has passed the appeal order on the basis of facts and material available on record as provided by the Assessing Officer still then Counsel of the Assessee requested that since the Assessee could not file any submissions before the ld. CIT(A) in its favour, therefore, the matter may kindly be restored back to CIT(A) for fresh adjudication. 4. The ld. DR relied on the order of the CIT(A). 212-Chd-2024 Bhagwan Dass Jassal, Amb 3 5.
