The grounds of appeal raised by the assessee are as under: 1. On the facts and in the circumstances of case and in the law, Ld. CIT(A) erred in accepting the value of land and building as per the valuation of Departmental Valuation Officer (DVO) which valuation is higher than the stamp duty value of the property at which it has been actually purchased by the assessee. The Ld. CIT(A) ought to have appreciated that in the view of clear mandate of 1st proviso to section 56(2)(vii) r.w.s 50C, valuation by DVO cannot exceed the stamp duty valuation of property and accordingly when the value of property recorded by the assessee in his books is as per the st .....

In backdrop of the valuation done by the DVO, an application for rectification of error u/s 154 of the Act was made by the assessee. Taking cognizance of the said application by the assessee, Ld.

Counsel of the assessee had filed an application seeking adjournment of the matter to prepare and file the paper book. The matter, therefore, was adjourned to 14.01.2025. However, there was no representation on behalf of the assessee on the next date of hearing i.e., 14.01.2025, also no application requesting for adjournment has been placed before us. Under such circumstances, it is deemed appropriate to take up the matter for hearing and to dispose of the appeal as per Rule, 24 of the Appellate Tribunal Rule, 1963, based on submissions by the Ld.

There is no further explanation on behalf of the assessee on the issue, therefore, the decision of Ld. CIT(A) deserves to be sustained. 10. We have considered the submissions of Ld.
