..... lacking in the impugned order. Therefore, we are of the view that the order passed by ld. CIT(A) is not in accordance with the mandate of section 250(6) of the Income tax Act. We have also found force in the contention of ld. AR of the assessee that despite receiving the application for adjournment on 30.06.2017, the ld. CIT(A) passed the impugned order by dismissing the appeal in limine. No contrary fact or law is brought to our notice by ld DR for the revenue. The assessment order was passed under section 144 and further first appeal of the assessee was also dismissed in ex-party order, we deem is appropriate to restore all the grounds of the appeal to the file of Assessing Officer to decide all the issues (additions/ disallowance) afres .....

..... peal was furnished before the ld. CIT(A). The ld. CIT(A) dismissed the appeal of the assessee in ex-party order in limine without discussing merits of the case. Thus, further aggrieved by the order of ld. CIT(A), the assessee has filed the present appeal before us. 3. We have heard the submission of ld. Authorized Representative (AR) of the assessee and ld.

Therefore, the assessee needs no leniency and the order of ld. CIT(A) may be confirmed. 6. We have co .....
