The only issue involved in this appeal is to be decided as to whether the CIT-A is justified in deleting the addition made by the AO by accepting new evidence under Rule 46A of the IT Rules 1962 in the facts and circumstances of the case. 4. The brief facts of the case are that the assessee is a company engaged in the business of real estate development & investment in shares.

On this score, I find that no enquiry, whatsoever, has been conducted by the AO with either the broker or the MCX Stock Exchange to verify the genuineness of the transactions entered into by the appellant.
