ITAT ordinary territorial jurisdiction is determined by the location of the Assessing Officer who issued the assessment order, rather than the assessee's location or that of the Commissioner (Appeals). The President's procedural rule-making power does not extend to transferring a pending appeal between Benches situated in different States.
