The assessee, vide ground No.3 of the appeal, has asserted that the ld. CIT(A) did not impart natural justice regarding the appellate proceedings. In the aforesaid factual background, we deem it appropriate to grant opportunity to the assessee for properly representing its case before the ld. first appellate authority. The impugned order is, ergo, set-aside and the matter is remitted to the file of the ld. CIT(A) with a direction to dispose of the appeal afresh on merits after allowing reasonable opportunity of hearing to the assessee. In such fresh proceedings, the assessee will be at liberty to lead any fresh evidence as he considers expedient for his case. 4. In the result, the appeal is allowed for statistical purposes.
