CIT(A), who after considering the facts and submissions of the case, deleted the addition by holding as under: "3.3.2 I have duly considered A/O's contention and appellant's submission, perused the materials on record, factual matrix of the case and also applicable legal position. The case was re-opened on 30/03/2012 on the basis of information received from Investigation Wing Delhi, with regard to share application money received by the assessee. Assessee has filed its objection for re-opening of assessment on 20.02.2013 but AO was unconvinced with that and rejected the same. During the reassessment proceeding, assessee provided all prima facie details such as Name with complete address, PAN, confirmation, bank statement, share application from & allotment etc. Assessee vide letter dated 25.03.2013 has requested AO to provide an opportunity to cross-examine Sh.

Hon'ble ITAT Jodhpur Bench Bharti Syntex Ltd 52 DTR 73 ( Hon'ble ITAT Jaipur Bench) 3.3.2.2 Further, I also find that the established legal position on the subject under consideration as adopted in a large number of case laws is as follows:- (i) As held in the case of R.B. Mittal v. CIT 246 ITR 283 (AP) in an enquiry u/s 68 of the Act, the rule of audi alteram parterm has to be observed and the assessee must be given a fair and reasonable hearing to discharge the burden cast on him u/s 68 of the Act. (ii) Jurisdictional ITAT Bench Jaipur in case of Bharti Syntex Ltd 52 DTR 73 has held inter alia as under: " .................Held that certificate of incorporation of investor companies was placed on record. It means that they were registered companies under the Companies Act.

AO has even not referred to the relevant portion of such statement so as to establish the collusive arrangement the assessee company had with these persons. (iv) Further, in the case of N.P. Garodia (order dated13/01/2009 of Hon'ble P & H High Court in ITA no. 808 of 2008) and in the case of Brij Pal Sharma (order dated 17.02.2009 in ITA no. 685 of 2008 of Hon'ble P & H High Court) it was held that where the assessee provides identity and details pertaining to the lenders/creditors but is unable to produce them and requests the AO to issue summons u/s 131 of the Act for their attendance, it is the duty of the AO to issue such summons, failing which the addition would get deleted. It is also held in CIT v. Orissa Corporation Pvt. Ltd. 158 ITR 78 (SC) and Anis Ahmed 297 ITR 441 (SC) that mere non- production of the lender/shareholder cannot be a ground for making addition u/s 68 of the Act. (v) Similarly as held in the case of CIT v. Metachem Industries (2000) 245 ITR 160 (MP) where a credit is shown to have come from a person other than the assessee, there is no further responsibility of the assessee to show ....

....s given the details of name and address of the shareholders, their PANIGIR number and had also given the cheque number, name of the bank. It was expected on the part of the assessing officer to make proper investigation and reach the shareholders. The assessing officer did nothing except issuing summons which was ultimately returned back with an endorsement 'not tenable'. In our considered view, the assessing officer ought to have found out their details through PAN Card, Bank Account details or from their bankers so as to reach the shareholders since all the relevant material details and particulars were given by the assessee to the assessing officer. In the above circumstances, the view taken by the Tribunal cannot be faulted. No substantial question of law is involved in the appeal. In the result, the appeal is dismissed in liminni with no order as to costs. " Similar decision has also been taken by the Hon'ble Chhattisgath High Court in ACIT v Venkateshwar Ispat Pvt. Ltd.

But if the same issue is sought to be re agitated, it also amounts to an abuse of the process of the court .........." 12. Though we were initially inclined to impose costs yet we are of the opinion that ends of justice would be met by giving a direction to the Revenue to be more careful before filing appeals in a routine manner. In our view, appeal should not be filed in matters where either no question of law arises or the issue of law is a settled one. We give this direction because the "judicial capital in terms of manpower and resources is extremely limited. 13. Registry is directed to communicate copies of this order to all the Chief Commissioners of Income Tax in Delhi for necessary action. With the aforesaid direction, the present appeals are dismissed in limine but without any order as to costs. " (viii) In the case of CIT vs. Fair Finvest Ltd.

Aseem Kumar Gupta who is alleged to have stated to provide accommodation entry inspite of the specific request of the assessee vide letter dated 05.03.2013 and 25.03.2013 (PB 34-36). It may be noted that in respect of this company assessee has filed the share application form, confirmation and the bank statement (PB 38-40). Thus, assessee has discharged his primary burden of proving the identity of the share applicant, genuineness of the transaction and creditworthiness of the creditor. Thus, the share capital money received from this company is fully explained and the addition made by the AO is rightly deleted by the CIT(A). 2. In case of M/s KMC Portfolio Pvt. Ltd. the AO treated the share capital amount as unexplained because in Annexure-3 of the Balance Sheet furnished by the company which shows the details of the investments made in share application money in different companies, the name of the assessee does not appear. However, AO has not made any further enquiry from the company more particularly when the investment is verifiable from its bank account (PB 43).

These companies are not referred as providing accommodation entries in the notice issued u/s 148. These companies (except M/s Chhoti Leasing & Finance Pvt.

Non-attendance on issuing summons itself cannot be a ground for rejecting all the relevant documents furnished by the assessee company.

The Assessing Officer has treated the share capital received from M/s SAM Portfolio Pvt.Ltd. as unexplained for the reason that the company has not furnished Schedule-5 of the balance sheet, which shows the details of investments. Only because Schedule-5 to the balance sheet is not furnished by the company, the investment made by it in the share capital of the assessee cannot be considered as unexplained. This company has made investment in the share capital of the assessee through J&K Bank. From this bank account, investment of Rs. 5,00,000/- made by it is fully verifiable. Even Aseem Gupta in his statement while providing the list of entities providing the accommodation entries has not stated that J&K Bank of SAM portfolio Pvt.
