CIT (A)-20 is against the facts and circumstances of the case and is uncalled for and unjustified. Also, the Ld. CIT (A)-20 in merely one hearing after listening to the arguments of the counsel of the appellant, without responding to the arguments, not asking questions/ making queries passed the order. 2. THAT since it's an order passed on account of notice issued to the assessee u/s 143(2) of the Act, therefore passing an order u/s 144 of the Act is unjustified, since the assessee doesn't fall under provisions of sub section 3 of section 144 where it is crystal clearly envisaged as, 144(3) When an assessee after filing a return fails to comply with the terms of a notice as .....

AO has grossly erred in making the addition @ 5% of Rs. 1,21,62,142/-, over presumption of "Inter-day" trading. On one hand, the Ld. AO has appreciated and given due credit of information regarding derivatives and losses of Rs. - 2,35,389/- and on the other hand, he has made an addition @ 5% on the basis of Inter-day sales.

Also, the assessee is not liable to audit because he has incurred loss of Rs.2,35,389/-. Neither the Ld. AO nor the Ld. CIT(A)- 20 consider the facts of the case before passing the impugned assessment and appellate orders respectively. 7. THAT no Show cause notice was issued during the assessment proceedings by the Ld. AO to the assessee before making the addition and passing the impugned assessment order.

It is not in dispute that the representative of the assessee has participated in the assessment proceedings and the assessment order has been passed u/s 144 of the Act.

In the present case on hand, the Ld.
