Non technical procedural non compliance in a faceless assessment regime was held insufficient to sustain an ex parte dismissal where the assessee offered a plausible explanation of limited literacy and unfamiliarity with electronic notices; the Tribunal treated substantive right to be heard and substantial justice as prevailing over mere technical default and found the appellate order procedurally defective for not permitting final production of loan sanction letters, bank certificates and interest certificates.
