None appeared on behalf of the assessee, however, an adjournment application filed by the AR of the assessee mentioning therein that the case records are yet to be reached at the office of the arguing counsel and the paper book is required to be filed containing requisite documents. The grounds for adjournment are found to be unsatisfactory. Thus, the adjournment application filed by the assessee is rejected. 3. A perusal of the order of the ld. CIT(A), more specifically in para 5.6, shows that the assessee has not furnished any documentary evidence to substantiate his claim for the year under consideration. This ITA No.08/CTK/2024 2 being so, as the documentary evidences are not being produced before the ld. CIT(A), it would obviously not possible to produce such evidences before the Tribunal. In these circumstances, so as to grant the assessee adequate opportunity of being heard to substantiate his case, the issues in this appeal are restored to the file of AO for re-adjudication after granting sufficient opportunity of hearing to the assessee. 4. In the result, appeal of the assessee is partly allowed for statistical purposes. Order dictated and pronounced in the open court on 11/03/2024.
