..... In the remand report furnished, the AO did not object to the information so filed by the assessee before the ld. CIT(A) at pages 1 to 57 of the paper book filed before the ld. CIT(A).

....appeal. As per the ld. CIT(A) at the time of assessment, the assessee had filed complete details, addresses of the persons having made share application money, their PAN, mode of transfer, i.e., through bank. Before the ld. CIT(A), the assessee had filed the copy of ITR, bank account, copy of audited account alongwith balance sheet and other relevant record as per paper book containing pages 1 to 22. This found by the ld. CIT(A) to be sufficient to hold that the assessee had discharged the initial burden as per "Lovely Exports Pvt. Ltd." (supra) and "GP International Ltd.," (supra). In "Lovely Exports Pvt. Ltd." (supra), the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held where the share application money is received by the assessee company from alleged bogus shareholders, if the assessee gives the names of such shareholders to the AO, the department can proceed to reopen their individual assessments in accordance with law, but the amount cannot be regarded as undisclosed income of the assessee company. To the same effect is the decision of the Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court in the case of "GP International Limited,"(supra). 12. The ld.

....at the ld. CIT(A) has made a finding of fact that as per clause-14, the developer had to complete the project within 24 months from the date of sanction of plan or handing over possession, whichever is later excepting force majeure circumstances or any action of the Statutory Authority or Court orders. The clause-14 reproduced by the ld. CIT(A) at page 10 of his order states that period of 24 months shall be subject to force majeure conditions and in view of the facts, we hold that no compensation accrued to the assessee company as there was delay in handing over clear cut possession to the assessee company by PUDA, which delayed the completion of project. Moreover, we find that assessee had filed additional evidence before the ld. CIT(A) which was forwarded to the AO and the AO has not made any adverse comments on the additional evidence. In view of the above, we do not find any infirmity in the order of the ld. CIT(A). 23. In view of the above discussion, Ground no.1(ii) is also dismissed. 24. As regards Ground no.1(iii), the AO made addition u/s 68 of the Act on account of loan from M/s. Golden Laminates Ltd. The ld. DR heavily relied upon the assessment order, whereas the ld.....
