An ex parte revision order under section 263 was held unsustainable because the assessee received only one day to respond to the show-cause notice, which was treated as denial of a reasonable opportunity of hearing and a breach of audi alteram partem. By majority, the Tribunal held that the defect was procedural and curable, so the revision proceedings were not terminated; the impugned order was set aside and the matter remanded for fresh adjudication after adequate opportunity, uninfluenced by observations on merits.
