....d the CIT(A). 5. We have considered the rival arguments made by both the sides, perused the orders of the Assessing Officer and the CIT(A) and the Paper Book filed on behalf of the assessee. There is no dispute to the fact that the search took place on 04-07-2007 and the assessee had not filed any return of income prior to the date of search. There is also no dispute to the fact that the assessee filed the return of income for the first time in response to notice u/s.153A(a) declaring total income of Rs.66,520/- on 13-11-2009. There is also no dispute to the fact that the assessee had declared gross commission of Rs.20,850/- for RTO liaison work and no details were furnished before the Assessing Officer, such as details/evidence related to....

.... keeping cash in hand in the business. However, the Ld.CIT(A) was also not satisfied with the explanation given by the assessee and gave partial relief to the assessee by holding as under : "4.3 After careful consideration of material available on record reveals that the opening balance of Rs.5,51,321/- consisted of fixed deposits of Rs.2,73,700/- and Rs.42,229/- with Mahesh Sahakari Bank and Mahesh Mahila respectively.

Since the revenue is not in appeal before us against the order of the CIT(A) restricting the disallowance to Rs.1,25,726/- as against Rs.1,80,750/-, disallowed by the Assessing Officer, therefore, the order of the CIT (A) in our opinion is the most reasoned one and does not require any interference. We accordingly uphold the same and the ground raised by the assessee is dismissed. 11. So far as the argument of the Ld. Counsel for the assessee that no incriminating material was found and therefore no addition could be made we have already decided the issue against the assessee while deciding Ground of appeal No.1 and therefore the same requires no further adjudic....
