..... The assessee challenged the assessment order so passed by filing the appeal before the learned CIT(A) and the same was allowed in part. Aggrieved by the order passed by the learned CIT(A), both the parties have filed appeal before us. In addition to the above, the assessee has also filed an appeal challenging the revision order passed u/s. 263 of the Act. All these appeals were heard together and are being disposed of by this common order, for the sake of convenience. 3. The appeal filed by the assessee challenging the revision order passed u/s 263 of the Act is barred by limitation by 637 days. The only reason submitted by the assessee for delay is that the assessee's erstwhile tax consultant did not advice on filing the appeal and only when a new legal consultant was pointed, he advised the assessee to file appeal challenging the revision order. The above said reason is not convincing to us and accordingly we decline to condone the delay. Accordingly, the appeal of the assessee in ITA No. 1252/Mum/2014 is dismissed in limine. 4.

....order passed by the learned CIT(A), both the parties have filed the appeal challenging the order passed by the learned CIT(A) on the issues decided against each of them. 10. We shall first take up the appeal filed by the assessee. As stated earlier, the AO disallowed legal and professional fee only for want of certain evidences. We notice that the assessee filed those evidences before Ld CIT(A), but the first appellate authority declined to admit them. We notice that the AO had asked for IT return copy and financial statements of M/s Quardant Communication, to whom the assessee had paid the legal and professional fee. It is quite natural that it may take some time, since the assessee herein had to obtain those details from the above said party. Hence, in the interest of natural justice, we are of the view that the additional evidences should be admitted and this issue needs to be re-examined. Accordingly, we set aside the order passed by Ld CIT(A) on this issue and restore the same to the file of the AO with the direction to examine this issue afresh by duly considering the additional evidences and such other information and explanations that may be furnished by the assessee befor....
