Assessee was issued with a show cause notice proposing addition to its income.  Since assessee was not ready with reply, it requested for adjournment. The Assessing Officer has passed the order   without giving assessee an opportunity to reply by granting adjournment. On writ the Court held that the Assessing Officer passed assessment order by  making addition. On writ the Court held that since  order had been passed in violation of principles of natural justice, same was  set aside.  (AY. 2018-19)(SJ)
