The assessee has raised the following grounds:- 1. For that the impugned order passed by the learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) [CIT(A)] is bad in law, facts and procedure. 2.

..... y the learned CIT(A) in gross violation of the principles of natural justice and without allowing reasonable opportunity of being heard and hence, the same is bad in law and is liable to be quashed. 11. For that your appellant craves leave of your honours to take additional ground or grounds and/or to modify any ground(s) of appeal at or before the time of hearing . 3. When the case was called, none appeared on behalf of the assessee. Perusal of note sheet shows that in the past when the case was fixed for hearing none appeared also on two occasions.

We, therefore, in order to bring an end the controversy and also in the interest of justice and being fair to both the parties and also considering the fact that there was undisclosed sales prior to 1.8.2014, the assessee himself has offered the N.P rate at 2.03% on the disclosed turnover also, estimating the net profit @ 4% will meet the end of justice. Thus, the estimated net profit on undisclosed business turnover, will works out at Rs.50,56,562/- and the same stands confirmed and remaining addition stands deleted.

Therefore, he was out of Kolkata for more than 1 month. Therefore, due to these reasons the order could not be pronounced within 90 days. Thus, order is pronounced today. 20. In the result, the appeal of assessee is partly allowed for statistical purp .....
