Issues: - Appeal against deletion of addition of Rs. 26,00,000 by the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) for assessment year 2005-06.
Analysis: 1. Background and Assessment by AO: - The Assessing Officer conducted a survey under section 133A revealing the dissolution of M/s. Vishal Jewellers and its takeover by M/s. Vishal Gold and Precious Stones (P.) Ltd. - Discrepancy of Rs. 26 lakhs in stock valuation was noted during the survey. - Assessee voluntarily surrendered Rs. 60 lakhs for taxation, including Rs. 26 lakhs by one of the partners. - AO added Rs. 26 lakhs to the present assessee-firm's income.

Ltd. - No variation in stock quantity was found. - Letters to AO regarding stock position were not considered. - Addition of Rs. 26 lakhs was deleted by CIT(A).
3. Appellate Tribunal's Decision: - Tribunal noted the dissolution of M/s. Vishal Jewellers and the takeover by M/s. Vishal Gold and Precious Stones (P.) Ltd. - Survey conducted at premises of M/s. Vishal Gold and Precious Stones (P.) Ltd., not the present firm. - Value of closing stock should be at cost price or market price, whichever is lower. - Addition not warranted as stock did not belong to present partnership firm. - Upheld CIT(A)'s decision to delete the addition.
4. Conclusion: - Revenue's appeal against deletion of Rs. 26,00,000 addition dismissed. - Addition not justified as stock discrepancies pertained to a different entity. - Tribunal upheld CIT(A)'s decision, ruling in favor of the assessee.
