2015 (2) TMI 1141 - AT - Income TaxReopening of assessment - Held that:- There is neither any discussion about the submissions made by assessee nor about the satisfaction recorded by the AO nor about the objections raised by assessee in the re-assessment proceedings on jurisdiction. In fact, Ld. CIT(A) did not even comment about the veracity of reopening of the assessment. As seen from the later part of the order, he did not even examine whether the AO made addition or disallowed expenditure. AO brought an amount of ₹ 15,77,330/- to tax as an addition under the head income from other sources, even after accepting that an amount of ₹ 1,50,300/- pertains to a firm. Without even understanding whether the amount was an addition to the income returned or disallowance of the expenditure claimed, the Ld. CIT(A) confirms the 'disallowance' made by the AO. This shows not only the non-application of mind by the CIT(A), but also total ignorance of facts and law on the matter under consideration. In our opinion it is the CIT(A) who took hyper technical view and not assessee. The re-assessment order of AO and impugned order of CIT(A) are set aside - Decided in favour of assessee
