....ble Delhi High Court in the case of CIT v. Value Capital Service Pvt. Ltd. 307 ITR 334 has held that even if the share applicant did not have the sources to make the investment the onus is on the revenue to show that such investment is emanated from the coffers of the assessee so as to enabnle it to be treated as the undisclosed income of the assessee. Relying on the various documents placed on record and the principle laid down by the Hon'ble SC in the case of M/s Lovely Exports Pvt. Ltd. which is directly on the issue of share capital, the addition on account of share capital cannot be sustained. The Assessing Officer has no where proved that documents in support of the identity of the share holders have not been placed on record and they were forged documents. In view of the discussions made above the addition of `.9,73,000/- is deleted." 8.

He took us to page 177 of paper book where he invited our attention to the fact that the difference between the share capital of 31.3.2001 and 31.1.2002 is only Rs. 5,70,000/- and not Rs. 9,73,000/-. He further argued that all amounts of share application money were received through A/c payee cheques and invited our attention to pages 5-31 of paper book wherein copies of affidavits, applicant's request for shares, copies of cheques issued by applicant and copies of bank account of applicant were placed. 15.
