As per the Ld. counsel, the assessee had not entered anything of all the transaction with the party during the financial year. In fact, any of the Revenue Authorities had not made any cross examination in between the assessee and the party. The documents relied on the Ld. AO was not properly verified through the cross examination. The reasonable opportunity of the assessee should not be denied. We decide that the matter should be returned back to the CIT(A) for further adjudication. Accordingly, we are setting aside the ground of appeal before the Ld. CIT(A) for further adjudication. On the other hand, the assessee should get a reasonable opportunity for redressal the grievance. - I.T.A. No. 108/Asr/2017 - - - Dated:- 12-7-2022 - Dr. M. L. Meena, Accountant Member And Sh.

It is only the infirmities in the manner of service of notice that the Section seeks to cure. The Section is not intended to cure complete absence of notice itself. Further relied on the order of CIT, Faridabad v. M/s Cebon India Ltd. 2012 347 ITR 583 (P H), the relevant para is inserted as follows: 5. We find that concurrent finding has been recorded by the CIT (A) as well as the Tribunal on the question of date of service of notice. Notice was not served within the stipulated time. Mere giving of dispatch number will not render the said finding to be perverse. In absence of notice being served, the Assessing Officer had no jurisdiction to make assessment. Absence of notice cannot be held to be curable under Section 292 BB of the Act. 6. The Ld.

This order is before the date of reasons recorded. The Ld. counsel further mentioned that the Ld. AO during reasons recorded did not apply his mind. In this respect, the Ld. counsel argued that M/s Shivam Communication is nothing but a habitual offender. 12. The Ld. counsel further argued that the Ld. Joint Commissioner of Income Tax (JCIT) mechanically approved the reopening u/s 148. The Ld. JCIT only had written valid reasons approved , even without putting the date on the same so the approval is mechanically in manner. 13. The Ld.
