We filed the suit against the above two companies challenging the termination and the said two c....

.... CIT(A) were sent to our vacated residence at Ahmedabad. There is absolutely no fault on the part of the Department in sending the notices at Ahmedabad address because in severe nervousness and in disturbed state of mind we had forgotten to inform them of our new address at Surat.
