Issues:
- Unexplained investment made in the capital
- Un-proved sundry creditors

Unexplained Investment in Capital:
The appeal was filed by the Revenue against the Order of the Ld. CIT(A) deleting additions made by the A.O. on account of unexplained investment in the capital and un-proved sundry creditors. The assessee, engaged in trading granite slabs, declared a loss in the return of income for the year. The A.O. found the assessment erroneous and prejudicial to revenue interests, leading to a fresh assessment under section 263. The assessee failed to provide details of 13 creditors and the source of investment in the capital. The Ld. CIT(A) deleted both additions based on explanations provided by the assessee, mentioning the investment from HUF and the clearance of sundry creditors' balances in subsequent years.

Un-proved Sundry Creditors:
The Ld. CIT(A) deleted the addition made by the A.O. on account of unproved sundry creditors, citing that the balances were cleared in subsequent years through various payment methods. The Revenue, aggrieved by this decision, raised multiple grounds challenging the deletion of additions. The Tribunal observed that while the Ld. CIT(A) accepted the explanations provided by the assessee, there was a lack of verification by the A.O. regarding the payments made to the creditors. Consequently, the matter was sent back to the A.O. to verify the claims made by the assessee and to provide an opportunity for further examination. The A.O. was directed to ensure a thorough assessment, with the assessee's cooperation.

Conclusion:
The Tribunal allowed the Revenue's appeal for statistical purposes, sending both issues back to the A.O. for re-assessment. The decision highlighted the importance of substantiating claims with evidence and the need for thorough verification by tax authorities to ensure accurate assessments.
