..... able total income without assigning proper reasons and justification? - HELD THAT:- We have carefully gone through the impugned proceedings and we find that the reasons assigned by the Tribunal are not clear and cogent. Though they were not raised in the same form before the Tribunal, we find that there was an argument to that effect, which has not been dealt with by the Tribunal. Therefore, we are inclined to interfere with the impugned order and remand the matters to the Tribunal for a fresh consideration.

The assessment for the year under consideration was completed by the assessment order dated 27.3.2015. Aggrieved by the same, the assessee preferred an appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-15, Chennai-34 [for brevity, the CIT(A)], who, by order dated 07.11.2016, allowed the appeal. As against that, the Revenue preferred an appeal before the Tribunal and the assessee filed a cross objection. The Tribunal, by common order dated 17.10.2017, which is impugned in these appeals, allowed a portion of the appeal filed by the Revenue and thereby set aside the order passed by the CIT(A) to that extent. 5.

That apart, the Revenue was also aggrieved by one portion of the order passed by the Tribunal, which, according to the Revenue, was factually and legally incorrect and therefore, they moved a miscellaneous petition before the Tribunal and it was allowed by order dated 08.10.2018. The Tribunal is to hear the Revenue afresh on that issue. Hence, interest of justice would be met and interest of the Revenue also would be protected if the entire matter is remanded to the Tribunal for a fresh consideration .....
