Since the issues involved in these four appeals are common, they are heard together and disposed off by this common order for the sake of convenience. 2. First we take up the appeals of the assessee Mr. A.Natarajan in ITA Nos. 780 781/Mds/2014 for consideration. The first ground raised by the assessee is that Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) should have accepted the contention of the assessee that appeal filed on 9.4.2009 as infructuous as the ex-parte order appealed against had been set aside by the Commissioner under section 263 of the Act on 18.3.2009. 3.

Counsel submits that income not having been computed on the basis of increase / decrease in capital, the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) is not justified in holding that computatio .....
