Issues Involved:
1. Deletion of addition made under Section 68 of the Income Tax Act for unexplained credit.
2. Deletion of addition made under Section 69 of the Income Tax Act for unexplained investment.
3. Deletion of addition made under Section 69A of the Income Tax Act for unexplained money.
4. Determination of Short Term Capital Gains.

Issue-wise Detailed Analysis:

1. Deletion of Addition under Section 68 for Unexplained Credit:
The Revenue challenged the deletion of Rs. 11,84,124/- added under Section 68, which was shown as outstanding for the purchase of gold. The Assessing Officer (AO) treated this amount as unexplained credit, questioning the genuineness of the transaction. However, the assessee provided confirmation from M. Ruhi Exports, including PAN details and other relevant documents. The CIT(A) found the transaction genuine and deleted the addition, noting that the AO had accepted the Short Term Capital Gains from the sale of the same gold, thus implicitly accepting the purchase cost. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, dismissing the Revenue's grievance.

2. Deletion of Addition under Section 69 for Unexplained Investment:
The AO added Rs. 5,00,000/- and Rs. 9,00,000/- under Section 69, treating them as unexplained investments towards the purchase of a flat. The assessee clarified that these amounts were paid by Shri Ankit C. Shah and Shri C.S. Shah (HUF) on different dates, supported by ledger accounts and bank passbooks. The CIT(A) was convinced by the evidence and deleted the additions. The Tribunal found no error in CIT(A)'s findings and dismissed the Revenue's grounds.

3. Deletion of Addition under Section 69A for Unexplained Money:
The AO added Rs. 13,50,250/- under Section 69A, treating the sale proceeds of gold as unexplained money. The assessee provided detailed computation of capital gains, supported by sale and purchase bills. The CIT(A) accepted the evidence, confirming the possession and sale of gold, and directed the AO to accept the capital gains as returned by the assessee. The Tribunal upheld this decision, noting no merit in the Revenue's grievance.

4. Determination of Short Term Capital Gains:
The AO questioned the assessee's claim of Short Term Capital Gains, alleging discrepancies in the sale bills and gold quantity. The assessee provided a detailed computation of capital gains, supported by documentary evidence. The CIT(A) accepted the computation, confirming the genuineness of the transactions. The Tribunal found the evidence satisfactory and dismissed the Revenue's appeal.

Conclusion:
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decisions on all grounds, finding no merit in the Revenue's appeals. The additions made by the AO under Sections 68, 69, and 69A were deleted, and the Short Term Capital Gains as returned by the assessee were accepted. The appeal filed by the Revenue was dismissed.
