Non-disclosure of the material used to fix a benchmark yield at 94.5% violated natural justice because the assessee had repeatedly sought the source and basis of that figure, including in representations and at personal hearing, but was not furnished any reply or supporting record.

The impugned assessment orders were set aside and the matter was remanded for disclosure of the relied-upon material, receipt of objections, and fresh orders after adequate opportunity.
