Assessment u/s 144B - Addition u/s 68 - Once a request is made by the assessee before the Assessing Officer to give him an opportunity of hearing having regard to the fact that the assessment is high-pitch assessment, then ordinarily such an opportunity should be given so that the assessee may not get a chance to redress the grievance before the higher forum that he was not given adequate opportunity of hearing. It would all depend on the nature of the issues involved in the matter. It is not necessary that in each and every case, the Assessing Officer has to provide personal hearing. Ultimately, it is the discretion of the Assessing Officer that should be exercised judiciously. - Matter restored back - HC
