..... ssessee-appellant cannot be a reason enough for the CIT(A) s not dealing with the points so raised before him on merits. The exercise of the right to be heard at the hearing of the appeal by the appellant, either in person or by an authorized representative condition , under section 250(2)(a), is not a condition precedent for the disposal of appeal on merits in accordance with the scheme of Section 250(6). In our considered view, irrespective of the non-appearance of the assessee before the CIT(A), the CIT(A) ought to have dealt with the issues so raised by the assessee-appellant on merits and by way of speaking order and in accordance with the law. We, therefore, deem it fit and proper to remit the matter to the file of the CIT(A) fo .....

..... t appears before the CIT(A) or not, it is the statutory obligation of the CIT(A) to dispose of an appeal on merits. The scheme of section 250 does not visualize any situation in which an appeal can be summarily dismissed disregarding the material on recorder. Section 250 (6) lays down that the CIT(A) s order disposing of the appeal shall be in writing and shall state the points for determination, the decision thereon and the reason for the decision . As for the points of determination, in our considered view, it cannot be open to the learned CIT(A) to disregard what the assessee has placed before him by way of a statement of facts and the grounds of appeal. In the present case, the assessee-appellant has set out, in column 11, a statement .....
