1. Revenue's appeal for AY 2005-06:
The Revenue challenged the deletion of an addition of Rs.22,00,000 on account of disallowance of expenses. The Assessing Officer disallowed the amount on an ad-hoc basis. However, the CIT(A) deleted the disallowance citing lack of basis for the ad-hoc disallowance. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, noting that the Assessing Officer did not point out any specific defect or doubt regarding the expenses. The deletion was justified as the disallowance lacked a valid basis.

2. Assessee's Cross Objection for AY 2005-06:
The assessee raised a cross-objection regarding the legality of the assessment order. However, since the Revenue's appeal was dismissed, the cross-objection was not pressed and rejected accordingly.

3. Revenue's appeal for AY 2006-07:
Similar to the previous year, the Revenue appealed the deletion of an addition of Rs.9,00,000 on account of disallowance of expenses. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, as the ad-hoc disallowance was made without a valid basis, mirroring the decision for AY 2005-06.

4. Assessee's appeal for AY 2006-07:
The assessee appealed the addition of Rs.6,30,000 as unexplained cash creditors. The Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to verify if there were fresh credits during the relevant accounting year. If no new credits were found, the addition for unexplained credit would not be sustainable. However, if fresh credits existed, the Assessing Officer was instructed to examine them in accordance with Section 68.

5. Revenue's appeal for AY 2008-09:
The Revenue contested the deletion of an addition of Rs.12,00,000 on account of disallowance of expenses. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, as the ad-hoc disallowance lacked a valid basis, similar to previous years.

6. Revenue's appeal for AY 2009-10:
In this appeal, the Revenue disputed the deletion of an addition of Rs.10,00,000 on account of disallowance of wages expenses. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, as the ad-hoc disallowance was made without a valid basis, consistent with earlier years.

In conclusion, all appeals of the Revenue were dismissed, the cross-objection of the assessee was dismissed, and the appeal of the assessee was deemed allowed for statistical purposes. The judgments emphasized the importance of valid bases for disallowances and the need for proper verification of credits to ensure fair assessments.
