(learned CIT(A)') dated 07 April 2023, to the extent prejudicial to the Appellant, is bad in law, void ab initio and contrary to the facts and circumstances of the case and is liable to be quashed. 2. On the facts and in the circumstances of the case: (a) the learned AO, while passing an order under section 143(3) of the Act, has erred in reiterating the addition made in intimation issued under section 143(1) of the Act in an absolute disregard of the submissions made to him .....
