This case pertains to the validity of an order passed u/s 250 by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) regarding the disallowance of expenditure due to a typographical mistake in the audit report. The assessee's appeal was dismissed by the CIT(A) on the grounds that the assessee did not provide an explanation or a certificate from the auditor confirming the typographical error. However, before the Tribunal, the assessee filed a corrected audit report. Considering it as a case of a typographical mistake by the auditor, the Tribunal remanded the matter back to the Assessing Officer to assess the income based on the corrected audit report filed by the assessee. The orders of the CIT(A) and the Assessing Officer were set aside, and the assessee's appeals were allowed for statistical purposes.
