Hence, it is clear that adequate opportunity of hearing was granted to the appellant, but he has neither attended the hearings nor filed any written submission in support of the grounds raised in appeal.

The CIT(A) has rightly confirmed the addition because assessee did not attend before him or filed any written submission in support of the grounds raised before him.

As discussed earlier, provisions of section 69A of the Act are clearly attracted to the facts of the instant appeal. Hence, the order of CIT(A) is upheld and appeal of the assessee is dismissed. ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
