..... ted by the assessee. Ld. CIT(A) noted that despite seeking time of almost three months for the preparation of the Remand Report, the Ld. AO did not comment on the merits of the additional evidence at all. 7. In light of the above discussion, we find that Ld. CIT(A) has correctly accepted the additional evidences. It cannot be said that Ld. AO was denied any opportunity to go through the additional evidences. Ld. AO has asked three months time, for submission of the Remand Report, Ld. CIT(A) has duly given the time. Thereafter, the ld. AO did not analyze the additional evidences properly. Thereafter, Ld. CIT(A) evaluated the additional evidences and gave a very cogent and speaking order on all issues concerned. In these circumstances, we find that the allegation by the Revenue that Ld. CIT(A) has deleted the addition in violation of Rule 46A is devoid of cogency. Under the circumstances, we hold that Ld. AO has been given proper opportunity by the Ld. CIT(A) to examine the additional evidence. Hence, Ld. CIT(A) s order on this account cannot be said to be suffering from any shortcoming. The case law relied upon by the Ld. Departmental Representative are not applicable on the fact .....
