..... s assumption of the ITAT was based on the statement made by the assessee. The mistake committed by the learned counsel for the assessee was also admitted at the time of hearing. As important to note that the learned DR also at the time of hearing has not controverted the proposition canvassed by the learned AR for the assessee. Rather the learned DR was agreed to the proposition suggested by the AR at the time of hearing. It is not material how the mistake was committed by the tribunal.

The provisions of section 254(2) of the Act provides authority to the Tribunal to rectify the mistakes apparent from record committed by it while rendering the justice. It is the basic principle of jurisprudence that if any mistake is committed by the tribunal, it needs to be rectified as no one should suffer on account of the mistake committed by the court. Even the rules of procedures and technicalities should not come in the way in rendering justice to the parties by correcting the mistake committed by the tribunal. 5.1 In the instant case the ITAT has wrongly assumed that the reference to the TPO by the AO for deciding the arm l .....

As per the ITAT, the outcome of these grounds was depending upon the ground of appeal raised by the revenue in its appeal bearing No. 1370/AHD/2015 which was set aside to the file of the learned CIT (A). Accordingly these grounds of appeal in the assessee s appeal were also set aside to the file of the learned CIT (A) for fresh adjudication. 9.1 Undisputedly the ground No. 1 raised by the Revenue in its appeal bearing No. 1370/AHD/2015 has been recalled by us vide paragraph number 5 of this order which is elaborated above.
