Issues Involved:
The issue in this case is whether the Learned Tribunal was justified in accepting the valuation made by the assessing officer as confirmed by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeal) without considering the materials produced by the assessee. Judgment Summary: The High Court of Calcutta considered the matter at hand, focusing on the key issue of whether the Learned Tribunal's acceptance of the valuation without considering the materials produced by the assessee was justified. The Learned Counsel for the revenue acknowledged that formal notice to the Respondents was unnecessary. Upon reviewing the impugned judgment and order of the Learned Tribunal, it was observed that the assessee had argued against the valuation arrived at by the assessing officer, claiming it was improper. However, the Learned Tribunal seemingly failed to consider this argument. Consequently, the Court determined that the matter required reconsideration. As a result, the operation of the judgment and order was suspended, and the case was remanded for fresh hearing by the Learned Tribunal. The Tribunal was instructed to reevaluate the materials presented earlier and make a fresh decision, free from any prior influence. If a change in the judgment was deemed necessary, it was to be done impartially. The Court set a timeline of two months for the completion of this process from the date of communication of the order. All parties involved were directed to act based on a signed copy of the operative portion of the order, adhering to the usual undertakings.
