The appeal was made against an order confirming additions of Rs.31,91,414 on undisclosed investment in Bardana and Rs.3,47,272 on unaccounted interest received on Farmers advances. The Tribunal found discrepancies in the orders for both issues and remanded the case back to the CIT(A) for reevaluation due to lack of necessary reconciliation and detailed analysis.

Issues:
1. Addition of Rs.31,91,414 on alleged undisclosed investment in Bardana
2. Addition of Rs.3,47,272 on alleged unaccounted interest received on Farmers advances

Analysis:
1. The appeal was against an order confirming an addition of Rs.31,91,414 on undisclosed investment in Bardana. During assessment, it was noted that the assessee had a share in Bardana investment made by a group concern. The AO added 40.7% of the investment as undisclosed. The CIT(A) confirmed the addition, stating that the investment could not be bifurcated among cold storages and upheld the AO's decision. The Tribunal found the facts similar to another case and sent it back to the CIT(A) for reevaluation, as the order lacked necessary reconciliation and detailed analysis. The matter was remanded for a fresh decision.

2. The second issue involved an addition of Rs.3,47,272 on unaccounted interest received on Farmers advances. The AO apportioned the interest amount among cold storages, including the appellant's share. The CIT(A) affirmed the addition based on similar reasoning as the first issue. However, the Tribunal found discrepancies in the order and sent the case back to the CIT(A) for a reevaluation in accordance with the law. The Tribunal directed a fresh decision after providing a reasonable opportunity for both parties to present their arguments. Ultimately, the appeal was allowed for statistical purposes, indicating a procedural victory for the appellant without altering the substantive tax liabilities.
