Appeal [Tribunal] - Order - Remand of matter considering the fact that Tribunal did not record finding on evidence placed by assessee during appeal hearing -

Assessee challenged order of Tribunal contending that Tribunal did not record any finding on evidence that were placed before it in relation to cash credit entries in books of assessee. Assessee further contended that Tribunal rejected genuineness of trade creditors when amounts paid to same creditors in same financial year, were accepted by Revenue Department. Held: Tribunal merely recorded conclusions and did not assign reasons. Order of Tribunal was cryptic and suffered from vice of non application of mind. Tribunal neither considered material placed by assessee before CIT(A) nor considered the material placed before it and in a cryptic and cavalier manner dismissed appeal preferred by assessee. Therefore, in fact situation of case, matter was remitted to Tribunal to decide it afresh.
