The ITAT has remanded a capital gains dispute back to the Assessing Officer (AO) after finding that the revenue department committed a legal oversight.

By remanding the case, the ITAT has given the department another opportunity to rectify its error while ensuring that the taxpayer is granted a fair and reasonable hearing. This ruling reinforces the importance of due process in tax assessments.
