..... ent u/s 143(3) of the Act and the details furnished by the assessee in response to this notice clearly shows that the AO was fully conscious of the details of advance received from the customers furnished by the assessee. There are no facts brought out on record to show that further enquiry was required to be made by the AO on the details of advance from the customers furnished by the assessee. We are of the view that order of CIT is a non-speaking order and does not discuss how the order of AO passed u/s 143(3) of the Act was erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of the revenue.
