..... e Assessing Officer can adopt a reason-able basis for effecting the apportionment. While making that determination, the Assessing Officer should provide a reasonable opportunity to the assessee of producing its accounts and relevant or germane material having a bearing on the facts and circumstances of the case." In view of the above decision of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court, we set aside the findings of the Ld. CIT(A) on this issue and remand the matter to CIT(A) with the direct ion to decide the same afresh keeping in view the observations of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of Godrej and Boyce Manufacturing. Co. Ltd Vs. DCIT (supra). The CIT(A) shall provide an opportunity of being heard to the assessee in the matter. For statistical purposes, the ground No.1 of the appeal is allowed. 6. Ground Nos. 2, 3 & 4 of the appeal reads as under :- 2. That the Ld.

That the appeal filed by the revenue bearing no. 1063/2011 is fixed before the Hon'ble Bench for today i.e. 25.03.2014. 2.

In the Affidavit , Sh. Subhash Aggarwal submitted that since the issue regarding dividend income was not specifically dealt with by the lower authorities and the CIT(A) had decided all the other issues in favour of the assessee, he inadvertently did not advise his client to file an appeal before the Tribunal. It is apparent from the order of the CIT(A) that assessee earned dividend income of Rs. 53,11,447/- which was claimed exempt u/s 10(34) & 10(35) of the Act, during the course of assessment proceedings. It was shown as taxable in the return of income as the assessment has been made u/s 115JB, it did not affect any taxability of the income. Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the present case, we are satisfied that the assessee was prevented by sufficient cause from filing the present appeal. At the same time, it is also well settled law that length of delay is not to matter in the c .....
