In our opinion, assessee suffered for its own fault. Assessee in appeal filed before us against the impugned order, has not restricted its issue that arises out of the impugned order. We record our strong dismay to such recourse taken by assessee. In our view, Ld.CIT(A) and assessee erred by initiating protracted litigation which is not in accordance with the procedure laid down by the Act. We do not find any infirmity in taxable income computed by Ld.AO in OGE to Hon ble High Court on 21/03/2012. We also hold that enhancement by Ld.CIT(A) is .....

Against order passed by Ld.AO, assessee preferred appeal before Ld.CIT(A) and disputed the disallowance made by Ld.AO in respect of alleged agricultural income of ₹ 3,84,13,288/-. Ld.CIT(A) allowed the claim of assessee. Relevant order is placed at page 92-96 of paper book filed on 10/07/2019. 3. Revenue preferred appeal before this Tribunal against the order of Ld.CIT(A).

Succinctly, Ld.AR admitted that, OGE passed by Ld.AO of order passed by Hon ble High Court was correct, and that to keep the issue alive, assessee preferred appeal before Ld.CIT(A) against the OGE. 9. On the contrary, Ld.Sr.DR placed reliance on order passed by Ld.CIT(A). 10. We have perused submissions advanced by both sides in light of records placed before us. 11.
