circumstances of the case, the
Tribunal, without going through
the assessment records, can arrive
at the conclusion that the
assessment order was passed by
the Assessing Officer without
calling for any details with regard
to the claim made by the assessee
u/s 80IB of the Act in respect of
duty drawback nor made any
enquiry before allowing such
deduction while completing the
assessment, especially when the
authority whom power of revision
is vested by the law had not so
found or alleged?

3. For that on the facts and
circumstances of the case, when
the CIT in exercise of power
available with him u/s 263 of the
Act has directed to withdraw the
deduction allowed u/s 80IB in
respect of duty drawback and has
not restored the issue back to the
file of the Assessing Officer for
passing the order afresh after
application of mind, can the
Tribunal conclude that the CIT
was of the opinion that the
assessment order passed by the
Assessing Officer was erroneous
on the ground of non-application
of mind by the Assessing Officer
in respect of the issue involved?
4.For that on the facts and
circumstances of the case, the
order of the CIT should have been
upheld by the Tribunal as opined
by the ld. JM or to have been held
as untenable as opined by the
AM.?
