Phool Chand Bajrang Lal And Anr. vs Income-Tax Officer, "B"-Ward And Anr. on 24 November, 1976
Moreover, A bare perusal of the remand report para 1 (PB 29) clearly
suggest that the revenue itself has admitted that it was not served in any

entered in the dispatch register at no.9382 only on 30.03.2014 and
thereafter, it was sent through Indian Postal Service and it was handed

Shri Bajrang Singh Choudhary vs. ITO, Ward- 7(2), Jaipur .
over to the P&T department only on 31.03.2014. It is nowhere claimed
that the impugned notice was sent through registered AD only and
therefore, the revenue could not have taken the benefit of the presumption
raised u/s 27 of General Clauses Act, 1897. Such evidence was not
confronted to the assessee. Even the ld. CIT(A), has not applied her mind
on this aspect. She rejected the contention merely on suspicion. The ld.
AR submitted that even making of entry in the dispatch register is not
sacrosanct.
