The Appellate Assistant Commissioner cancelled the assessment in respect of first sale of cotton yarn and remanded the matter to the assessing officer, for a rehearing. The Board however decided to issue notice calling upon the assessee but, cancelled the order of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner after notice which means the assessee/appellant appeared before the Board.

Coming to the main contention, we cannot but take notice of the scheme of the Act under which the assessment order has been made, subjected to two appeals, one before the Appellate Assistant Commissioner under section 31 of the Act in the case of an order passed by the appropriate authority under section 4-A, section 12, section 12-A, section 14, section 15, sub-sections (1) and (2) of sect .....
