....l, being general, does not call for any adjudication. 4. Ground No. 2 was not pressed by the learned Authorised Representative. The same is, therefore, dismissed. 5. Ground No. 3 of the assessee's appeal and ground No. 1 of the Revenue's appeal deal with the addition made on account of entries in diary. 6.

....s. As regards the explanation for the remaining amount of cash having been left by the mother at her death, the same was also found to be unsubstantiated. He, therefore, took the investment at Rs. 72,600 as per the approved valuer's report in addition to the addition made for the diary by holding that such transactions did not relate to the construction. Resultantly, additions of Rs. 72,600 and Rs. 8,03,228 were made separately by the AO.

It is observed that the total of the entries in the diary in respect of investment in the boundary wall was to the tune of Rs. 64,861. The contention of the assessee explaining the source being the withdrawals of Rs. 28,050 from M/s Rajasthan Commercial House and the remaining amount having emanated from the amount left by his mother at the time of her death cannot be accepted. Insofar as the amount of Rs. 28,050 is concerned, we shall discuss the same with reference to ground No. 2 of the Revenue's appeal infra which deals with the addition on account of household expenses. As regards the remaining amount, no evidence worth the name has been placed on record, either befor....

....nsideration, is the deletion of addition of Rs. 16,950 made by the AO on account of inadequate withdrawals for household expenses. 10. The assessee has shown total withdrawals at Rs. 43,050, inclusive of the above discussed amount of Rs. 28,050. The AO estimated the household expenses at Rs. 5,000 per month and made an addition of Rs. 16,950 (60,000 43,050). The learned CIT(A) did not sustain any addition on this count on the ground that the amount of Rs. 28,050 was considered as available to the assessee for household expenses. 11. Having heard both the sides and perused the relevant material on record, we observe that this finding of the learned first appellate authority is not sustainable on the ground that the amount of Rs. 28,050....
