The High Court granted the correction of the respondent's address in the cause title. The Revenue's challenge against the deletion of various additions by the Appellate Tribunal was dismissed. The Court upheld the restrictions on undisclosed income from the sale of a house to the assessee's share and the unexplained investment in a house to Rs. 2,00,000, as determined by the Tribunal.

Issues: 1. Correction of respondent's address in cause title. 2. Deletion of additions by the Appellate Tribunal on various grounds. 3. Addition of undisclosed income on the sale of a house. 4. Addition of unexplained investment in a house.
Analysis:
Issue 1: Correction of respondent's address The High Court granted leave to correct the respondent's address in the cause title.
Issue 2: Deletion of additions by the Appellate Tribunal The Revenue challenged the deletion of various additions by the Appellate Tribunal. The substantial questions of law included the deletion of amounts related to bogus purchases, undisclosed income on the sale of a house, disallowance of interest expense, deemed income under Sections 68 and 69 of the Act, and unexplained investment in a house. The Court considered each question separately.
Issue 3: Addition of undisclosed income on the sale of a house Regarding the addition of undisclosed income on the sale of a house, the Tribunal observed that the property belonged to the father of the assessee, and as one of the legal heirs, the assessee's share was limited to 1/7th. The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision to restrict the addition to the assessee's share of the sale proceeds, which was rounded off to Rs. 1,08,000.
Issue 4: Addition of unexplained investment in a house In the case of unexplained investment in a house, the Tribunal found that the assessee failed to provide sufficient evidence to support the claim that the funds used belonged to the father. The Tribunal restricted the addition to Rs. 2,00,000, considering the facts and circumstances. The Court agreed with the Tribunal's decision, finding no error in restricting the addition to Rs. 2,00,000.
In conclusion, the High Court dismissed the appeal against the Tribunal's decisions on the deletion of additions and upheld the restrictions imposed on the undisclosed income and unexplained investment in the house.
