Issues:
Challenging common orders by Income Appellate Tribunal for Assessment Year 2005-06 and 2006-07.

Analysis:
The appellant challenged the orders passed by the Income Appellate Tribunal, which confirmed the orders of the CIT Appeals and the assessing officer. The case involved discrepancies related to unaccounted stock of iron ore and purchases from outside parties. The assessing officer found discrepancies in the closing stock of iron ore, leading to the reopening of the case. The appellant claimed that the ore was borrowed from another company for export requirements and was returned, but failed to provide sufficient evidence to support this claim. The Commissioner of Income Tax and the Tribunal rejected the appellant's contentions, stating that the appellant did not provide satisfactory evidence to prove the transactions. The Tribunal also rejected an application to bring additional evidence on record, as the appellant failed to produce relevant documentary evidence throughout the proceedings.

Conclusion:
The High Court upheld the decision of the lower authorities, stating that no substantial question of law arose in the appeal. The Court noted that despite multiple opportunities, the appellant failed to provide the necessary documentary evidence to support their claims regarding the unaccounted iron ore. The Court found that the Tribunal was justified in rejecting the application for additional evidence and dismissed the Income Tax Appeals for the relevant assessment years. The appeal was consequently dismissed, affirming the orders of the lower authorities.
