....he AO issued notice u/s 148 of IT Act to the assess on 16.03.2012 after recording the following reasons. "As per AIR information for F. Y. 2006-07 received in this office, the assessee has made cash deposits of Rs. 1900000/- in his bank account with PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK, CIRCULAR ROAD, REWARI. A query notice was issued to the assessee on 24.01.2012, but no response has been received from the assessee. I, therefore, have reason to believe that the assessee has deposited cash in his bank account out of his income from unexplained source. Accordingly, income to the extent of Rs. 1900000/- and any other income which subsequently comes to the notice of the undersigned has escaped assessment within the meaning of section 147 of the I.T. ....

....n agriculture was sold and being hindu by religion he is supposed to have interest in the life of his mother and all the purchase of land are jointly with his mother, father and brother. The assessee further submitted that as per section 54 B of the Act,there is no binding that the assessee should purchase the agriculture land in his own name. The assessee has furnished the photocopy of the sale deed for purchase of agriculture land.

.... before him and upheld the reopening of the assessment as well as the addition made by the AO on merit. 6. Aggrieved with such order of Ld. CIT(A), the assessee is in appeal before the Tribunal. 7. Ld. Counsel for the assessee at the outset, drew the attention of the bench to the reasons recorded by the AO for issue of notice u/s 148 and submitted that the reopeneing was made on account of cash deposit of Rs. 19 lakh in the bank account. However, in the order passed by the AO, he has made addition on account of capital gain and interest earned. Thus, nothing has been mentioned in the assessment order for which the assessment was reopened and some other addition has been made. Therefore, in view of the decision of Hon'ble Delhi High Co....

....dering the submission of the assessee has made addition on account of capital gain and undisclosed interest income which has rightly been sustained by Ld. CIT(A). He accordingly, submitted that the order of Ld. CIT(A) be upheld and the grounds raised by the assessee should be dismissed. 9. I have considered the rival arguments made by both the sides, perused the orders of the AO and Ld. CIT(A) and the paperbook filed on behalf of the assessee. I have also considered the various decisions cited before me. A perusal of the reasons recorded by the AO as reproduced by him in the assessment order shows that the reopening was made on account of cash deposit of Rs. 19 lakh in the bank account of the assessee. However, the AO in the assessment o....
