Tribunal Upholds CIT(A)'s Decisions for A.Yrs. 1998-99 & 1999-2000

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decisions in both appeals for A.Yrs. 1998-99 and 1999-2000, following the precedent set by M/s. Boon Industries. The Revenue's appeals were dismissed as the judgments highlighted the importance of consistency in decisions and the absence of new evidence or arguments to justify overturning the lower authorities' rulings.

Issues: Appeals by Revenue against orders of CIT(A) for A.Yrs. 1998-99 and 1999-2000; Common issue involved in both appeals.

Analysis:
1. ITA No. 6869/M/2011-A.Y. 1998-99:
- Grievance of Revenue: CIT(A) erred in allowing the assessee's appeal by following ITAT decision in M/s. Boon Industries without considering the Department's appeal to High Court.
- Assessment Dispute: Dispute over addition of Rs. 11,30,000/- on estimated sales; AO assessed sales at Rs. 1,13,00,000/-.
- CIT(A) Decision: CIT(A) deleted the entire addition based on Tribunal's decision in M/s. Boon Industries; CIT(A) held the addition not sustainable.
- Judgment Basis: Both assessment and appellate orders relied on M/s. Boon Industries case; No distinguishing facts presented by Departmental Representative.
- Final Decision: Tribunal dismissed Revenue's appeal, upholding CIT(A)'s decision.

2. ITA No. 6871/Mum/2011 - A.Y. 1999-2000:
- Identical Issue: Issue in this appeal identical to A.Y. 1998-99 appeal, though quantum may differ.
- Decision Consistency: Following similar reasoning, Tribunal dismissed Revenue's appeal for A.Y. 1999-2000.

In both cases, the Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decisions based on the precedent set by M/s. Boon Industries, leading to the dismissal of the Revenue's appeals for both assessment years. The judgments emphasized the importance of consistency in decisions and the lack of new evidence or arguments to warrant a reversal of the lower authorities' findings.
