Even though it would have been proper on the part of the assessee to have furnished copies of he assessment orders passed by the ITO's at Pakistan at the time of his assessment before the ITO of Gwalior, we have entertained the evidence now produced before us as we find that the assessee could not produce it earlier on account of the papers having been misplaced.
