<h1>Tribunal dismisses appeal, rules against unsupported expenditure addition by CIT(A) for marriages.</h1> The Tribunal upheld the deletion of the addition of Rs. 84,000 by the CIT(A) towards unexplained expenditure on the marriages of the assessee's son and ... Income From Undisclosed Sources Issues:Deletion of addition of Rs. 84,000 made by AO towards unexplained sources of expenditure incurred on marriages of son and daughter.Analysis:The appeal was filed by the Department against the order of CIT(A) concerning the deletion of addition of Rs. 84,000 towards unexplained expenditure on the marriages of the assessee's son and daughter for the assessment year 1982-83. The AO estimated the unexplained expenditure on the marriages, which was later deleted by CIT(A). The main contention was that the marriage expenses were borne by the assessee's grandfather, as evidenced by the will and statements from family members. The Department relied on the AO's order, while the Authorized Representative argued that the additions were made based on conjectures and surmises, lacking concrete evidence. The Tribunal considered all evidence, including the will, statements of family members, and the circumstances of the case.The Tribunal noted that the AO's conclusion that the will was bogus lacked a solid legal basis, as it was not supported by expert opinion. Statements of the assessee and family members were recorded, indicating that the grandfather had borne the marriage expenses. The Tribunal found that the additions were made on presumptions without substantial evidence, rendering them unsustainable in law. The Tribunal referenced a decision of the Hon'ble Rajasthan High Court to support its reasoning, emphasizing the importance of considering material on record while estimating income. Ultimately, the Tribunal dismissed the Department's appeal, upholding the deletion of the addition of Rs. 84,000.In conclusion, the Tribunal found that the additions made by the AO were not supported by concrete evidence and were based on presumptions, leading to the deletion of the addition of Rs. 84,000. The Tribunal emphasized the significance of considering all evidence and material on record in such cases. The decision of the Hon'ble Rajasthan High Court was cited to support the Tribunal's reasoning, highlighting the importance of a factual and reasoned approach in estimating income.
