06 October 2016 In your query it is not mentioned whether the CIT(A) has passed the order confirming demand of the AO.
If he has not done so, then you can always file fresh statement of facts as suggested by MR Seetharaman.
You can also replace the authorised representative (please note that this is different from representative assesee). In order to do so you will have to file in writing withdrawing the letter of authority provided to him and file this letter with the CIT(A) and also mark a copy to the erstwhile AR.
In case the CIT(A) has already passed the order, you may seek relief before the Tribunal.
