Therefore, the ITAT ought to have considered the grounds of appeal filed by department or in the alternative the department should be allowed additional ground raised before the ITAT as the primary facts are same and available on records. 3.

He has referred the following para from the said petition of the Revenue:- It was mentioned in the miscellaneous Petition filed dtd: 4/5/2009 that in view of the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of NTPC u/s.CIT (229 ITR 383 .....

Now the Revenue wants to overcome its own mistake through this miscellaneous petition, so that the impugned quantum addition can also be challenged but the .....

The assessing officer further made an addition of Rs.3,43,456/- on account of undisclosed investment in construction. This figure was arrived at by deducting the cost of construction of Rs.2,57,378/- shown by the assessee from the cost of construction of Rs.6,00,834/- determined by the valuation officer.
