ORDER
This appeal is directed against the order of the Tribunal, dated 17-9-1999 whereby the appeal filed by the present appellant was dismissed.
2. The primary grievance raised by the learned counsel for the appellant is that the initial notice under section 65 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 1979 was defective as it was deficient in material particulars inasmuch as it did not specify as to whether it was issued in terms of section 65(1)(a) or (b) or (c) thereof. It is contended that this aspect of the matter was specifically raised before the Tribunal but was not decided on /01/1979.
