PER V. DURGA RAO, JUDICIAL MEMBER:
This appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the
order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Trichy, dated
29.11.2013 relevant to the assessment year 2008-09. 2 I.T.A. No. 283/Mds/2014
2. Facts in brief are that the assessee is a proprietor of M/s
Karvin Interiors doing interior decorations on contract basis. The
assessee had filed a return of income for the assessment year
under consideration, on 30.09.2008 by declaring a total income of `
7,45,840/-. The case of the assessee was selected for scrutiny and
after due process, the A.O. has completed the assessment under
Section 143(3) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (in short 'the Act'). In
the assessment order, the A.O. made an addition of ` 11,55,000/-
on account of unexplained cash credit under Section 68 of the Act
and an addition of ` 5,01,577/- on account of non-deduction of TDS
and an amount of ` 30,11,373/- on account of long term capital
gain. Before the A.O. the assessee has not filed any evidence.
Therefore the A.O. assessed the total income of the assessee at `
54,13,770/-.
2. Assessee carried the matter in appeal before the Ld.
CIT(Appeals). The Ld. CIT(Appeals) confirmed the order of the
Assessing Officer.
3. On being aggrieved, the assessee carried the matter before
the Tribunal. At the time of hearing, the Ld.counsel for the
assessee submitted that all the details are available in respect of 3 I.T.A. No. 283/Mds/2014
the additions made by the A.O. Hence, one more opportunity may
be given to the assessee to produce the same before the A.O.
4. On the other hand, the Ld. D.R. strongly supported the
orders of the authorities below.
5. We have heard both sides and perused the records and
gone through the orders of the authorities below. The additions
were made by the A.O. and sustained by the Ld. CIT(Appeals) on
account of non-production of necessary evidence before the
authorities below. We find that in the interest of justice, one more
opportunity should be given to the assessee to defend his case by
producing all the necessary materials. Under these circumstances,
we set aside the order passed by the Ld. CIT(Appeals). We direct
the assessee to produce all the necessary evidence before the A.O.
On production of evidence, the A.O. is directed to decide the issue
afresh in accordance with law after giving due opportunity of being
heard to the assessee.
6. In the result, the appeal filed by the assessee is allowed for
statistical purposes.
