The assessee contended that the disallowance was made without correctly appreciating the facts of the case.

The Assessing Officer issued a show-cause notice on 19.11.2022, and the assessee sought an adjournment, which was declined. The assessee then submitted a detailed explanation on 29.11.2022, but this was not considered by the Assessing Officer. The Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) confirmed the disallowance without examining the supporting evidence. The assessee appealed against this order, claiming that the disallowance was not justified.…
