ITAT allowed the appeal for statistical purposes, finding that the CIT(A) failed to discharge statutory obligations under Section 250. The appellate authority improperly dismissed the assessee's appeal through a non-speaking order without substantively examining the merits of the case. The tribunal held that the CIT(A) did not adequately consider the assessee's submissions, evidence, or grounds of appeal, and did not provide reasoned findings on the key issues of reassessment, capital gains, and statutory additions. The order was deemed procedurally defective as it did not meet the mandatory requirements of a comprehensive appellate review, thereby warranting remand for proper adjudication.
