ITAT allowed Revenue's appeal, setting aside CIT(A)'s order that had deleted additions made by AO under s.153A. The Tribunal clarified that for assessment years abated as of the search date (02.05.2018), the AO could assess total income based on any material, not just incriminating evidence found during search. CIT(A) had erroneously treated the assessments as unabated. However, ITAT directed deletion of additions related to depreciation on plant/machinery and sub-contract payments, as these were based on third-party statements without allowing cross-examination or providing adequate opportunity for rebuttal to the assessee. The principle that third-party statements require corroborative evidence and opportunity for cross-examination was upheld.
