- The appeals were filed by the revenue challenging the ITAT's judgment regarding additions made under Section 68 of the Income Tax Act for unexplained cash credits in bank accounts for different assessment years.
- The revenue raised substantial questions of law concerning the deletion of these additions by the CIT(A) for each appellant, questioning the correctness of the ITAT's decision.

- The CIT(A) held that the appellants adequately explained the sources of the funds, which were then deposited into the bank accounts, and thus, the additions made by the Assessing Officer were unjustified.
- The High Court agreed with the CIT(A) and ITAT's findings, stating that the appellants successfully proved the sources of income and the funds were legitimately routed through the bank accounts, justifying the deletion of the additions made under Section 68 of the Income Tax Act.
