I.T.A. NO. 1583/LB OF 1995 Versus I.T.A. NO. 1583/LB OF 1995

ORDER

MUHAMMAD TAUQIR AFZAL MALIK (JUDICIAL MEMBER)- - This is an appeal by the appellant mainly on the following four points:---

(1) Jurisdiction.

(2) Estimation of receipts.

(3) Add-backs in profit and loss account.

(4) Issuance of notice under-section 116.

2. As far as the first point is concerned this is to be pointed out that the assessee himself filed a return before the I.T.O., Gujranwala where he was working at the relevant time. Therefore, his contention that the assessing officer had no jurisdiction under section 5 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 1979 and the assessment order is ab initio void and illegal is misconceived. The I.T.O. had the jurisdiction to make the assessment. On the other three grounds i.e. estimation of receipts, add-backs in profit and loss account and notice under section 116, it has been asserted that the grounds taken by him before the C.I.T. (A) on the above three points has not been taken into consideration while passing the order. The perusal of the C.I.T, (Appeals) order shows that the abovesaid contention has got some weight. Therefore, the order of the C.I.T. (A) is set aside and the case is remanded to the C.I.T.(A) for giving a fresh decision after taking into consideration the grounds taken before him. The appeal is accepted as above.

C.M. S./182/Trib. Order accordingly.
