The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's Miscellaneous Applications seeking rectification of the Tribunal's orders for the assessment years 2010-11 and 2006-07. The Tribunal found that although certain alternative grounds raised by the assessee were not adjudicated, this omission did not prejudice the Revenue's interests. Therefore, no rectification was deemed necessary as the Tribunal's orders adequately addressed the issues raised by the parties. The decision was pronounced in Open Court on 10th January 2018.

Issues:
- Rectification of alleged mistake in the order of the Tribunal dated 30.06.2017 and 06/07/2017 for the A.Ys 2010-11 & 2006-07 respectively.

Analysis:
1. For the A.Y 2010-11, the AO disallowed a specific amount and made an addition under section 69 of the Act. The assessee claimed the amount was from an agreement to sell property, used for jewelry investment. The CIT (A) held that cash withdrawal from the company funded the jewelry investment and even if the addition was deleted, it would be taxed under section 2(22)(e) as the assessee was a Director of a specific company.

2. Regarding the A.Y 2006-07, cash deposits were found during a survey operation, and the AO added them under section 69A. The ITAT deleted the addition as explained deposits. The Revenue filed a Miscellaneous Application (M.A.) stating that an alternative ground raised by the assessee was not adjudicated, leading to a mistake requiring rectification.

3. The Tribunal allowed the appeals, stating the source of investment in jewelry and cash deposits were explained for the relevant financial years. The Revenue argued that the Tribunal failed to address the alternative grounds related to being treated as a deemed dividend under section 2(22)(e), constituting a mistake. The assessee contended that no mistake existed as the Tribunal upheld the CIT (A) order regarding explained sources.

4. After considering the contentions and evidence, it was found that the Tribunal did not adjudicate the alternative grounds raised by the assessee. However, this non-adjudication did not prejudice the Revenue's interests. Consequently, no rectification was deemed necessary in the Tribunal's order for the A.Ys 2010-11 and 2006-07.

5. The Miscellaneous Applications filed by the Revenue for the mentioned assessment years were dismissed, as the Tribunal found no mistake in its previous orders. The decision was pronounced in the Open Court on 10th January 2018.
