....red on law in allowing the appeal of the assessee on account of addition made towards the unexplained opening balance. 2. The CIT(A) has failed to appreciate the fact that to add the unexplained opening capital balance the requirement of seized material is not necessary. 3. The CIT(A) ought not to have considered the decisions of various ITATs as they are against the statutory provision of section 153A of the IT Act. 4. The order of the CIT(A) is not acceptable on the ground that in the case of ACIT Vs. M/s Ch. Marthanda Rao & Co., IT Act, 1961 No. 780 to 784/Hyd/2010 the jurisdictional ITAT has given its categorical finding that the total income shall be assessed or reassessed as per section 153A of the IT Act." 3.

The learned counsel for the assessee strongly supported the order of the CIT(A). 6..............The tribunal held that the Assessing Officer has failed to take cognizance of the return for 1990-91, while deciding the issue of 1991-92 as the return was before him. The opening balance of cash cannot be treated as unexplained in the assessment year 1991-92.

On receiving the departmental appeal, the Cross-Objector was under bona fide belief that the appeal of the Department is frivolous and unsustainable in as much as the CIT(A) relying on the decision of this Hon'ble Tribunal held that the assessment was not based on the material found in the course of search. However, when the cross-objector approached its counsel on 10/07/2001, the Cross-Objector was advised to file cross objections in the appeal challenging the erroneous finding of the CIT(A) with respect to search in the hands of the crossobjector. It was pointed out by my counsel that once there is no warrant in the hands of the cross objector, the assessment made de hors of materials ....
