Assessee filed objections under section 144C(2) with DRP and a copy thereof was filed with Jurisdictional Assessing Officer.It did not upload objections on portal. Assessee explained that this non-upload was due to a technical impediment in portal. Faceless Assessing Officer was unaware that assessee had filed objections. He passed the assessment order without waiting for DRP’s directions under sub-section 5 of section 144C and issued demand notice. On writ the Court held that  the Assessing Officer would pass an assessment order once DRP passes its directions and consequently, notice of demand in Form No. 7 was also quashed and set aside.
