BECAUSE none of the additions as aforesaid as have been made/sustained by the authorities below fell under the definition of "un-disclosed income" as contained in section 158BB of the "Act" and no part of the same could have been sustained either on facts or on law. WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE AFORESAID 3. BECAUSE Smt. Suman Bala Chopra, wife of the "appellant" had 'deposit' with M/s. Sanjay Textile, Kanpur in her own name as also in her own rights and in the absence of any material to the contrary found during the course of search under section 132(1), no such addition could have been made / sustained in the block period assessment. 4.

.... explained that insurance co. had wrongly mentioned the name of the appellant in the cover note and in support of this contention, a corrected cover note was a/so placed on record. Thus, this addition of Rs. 3,107/- was not justified." 5.1 From the above Para from the order of learned CIT(A), it is seen that it is the assertion of the assessee that the concerned truck No. UP 78 B 1033 belonged to Shri Rakesh Kumar Chopra, nephew of the assessee and it is also asserted by the assessee before learned CIT(A) that such a fact had been got clarified by the A.O. through enquiries made from the office of R.T.O. This assertion of the assessee could not be controverted by any of the authorities below or by Learned D.R. of the Revenue. In our considered opinion, when the concerned vehicle is belonging to Shri Rakesh Kumar Chopra, this should be accepted that the payment was made by him only and since Shri Rakesh Kumar Chopra is nephew of the assessee, it is not very unusual to find a receipt of the nephew of the assessee at the place of the assessee and under these facts, we feel that the addition is not justified and the same is deleted. 6. Regarding ground No. 1(b) in respe....

It was also submitted by the assessee before the CIT(A) as per his submission reproduced by CIT(A) in Para 5.1 of his order that the Assessing Officer has proceeded on this basis that the wife of the assessee was not assessed to tax but this is ignored that necessary details of assessment of Suman Bala Chopra was produced in respect of post search years and for earlier period, she was not enjoying taxable income and therefore, no return was filed by her. As per year-wise detail of the impugned interest income reproduced by the Assessing Officer in Para 13 of the assessment order, we find that the maximum amount in one year is 13,231/- in assessment year 2001-2002, which is much below the exemption limit. In our considered opinion, this fact is not relevan....
