Issues:
Appeal against order of CIT(A) confirming addition of undisclosed investment in jewellery.

Analysis:
The appellant contested the addition of Rs. 41,48,174 as undisclosed investment in jewellery, arguing that a portion of the jewellery was not seized during the search and the rest belonged to the father-in-law, who had declared it as undisclosed income. The ITAT considered the details of jewellery found from various family members, totaling Rs. 2,05,55,951. Out of this, jewellery worth Rs. 77,52,900 was not seized, and Rs. 1,28,03,000 was seized by the department. The father-in-law had disclosed an amount as undisclosed speculative profit, which was used to purchase jewellery. The tribunal noted that the undisclosed income declared by the father-in-law covered the unaccounted jewellery seized from the entire family. Therefore, no separate addition in the hands of the appellant was warranted.

The tribunal emphasized that centralizing the cases of family members was crucial for a comprehensive determination of undisclosed income. As the undisclosed income determined matched the income declared in the return, the tribunal concluded that no separate addition should be made in the appellant's case. Consequently, the appeal of the assessee was allowed, and the addition of Rs. 41,48,174 as undisclosed investment in jewellery was deleted.
