Section 250 (6) lays down that the CIT(A) s order disposing of the appeal shall be in writing and shall state the points for determination, the decision thereon and the reason for the decision . As for the points of determination, in our considered view, it cannot be open to the learned CIT(A) to disregard what the assessee has placed before him by way of a statement of facts and the grounds of appeal.
