Issues involved: Appeal against addition of unexplained difference in stock valuation.

Summary:
The Revenue filed an appeal against the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal's judgment regarding the addition of unexplained difference in stock valuation. The discrepancy arose from the difference in the valuation of closing stock in the books of accounts compared to what was presented before the bank. The Assessing Officer added the difference amount to the income of the assessee as unexplained investment. The CIT(A) dismissed the appeal due to the assessee's failure to provide bank records. However, the Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeal, noting that the burden was on the Revenue to prove the unexplained investment. The Tribunal found the explanation provided by the assessee regarding the valuation difference to be plausible and deleted the addition. The High Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, stating that no question of law arose.

In conclusion, the tax appeal against the addition of unexplained stock valuation difference was dismissed based on the Tribunal's factual finding and acceptance of the assessee's explanation for the valuation variance.
