....us and carefully gone through the paper book filed by both sides. 8. Apropos to ground no.1 through which the revenue has raised an issue that additional evidences were admitted by the ld. CIT(A) in contravention to Rule 46An of the Income Tax Rules. We find that the additional evidences were filed before the ld. CIT(A). All these evidences were forwarded to the ld. AO and remand report was called for. Ld. DR has himself submitted the copy of remand report dated 07.01.2015 wherein for each of the issues raised before the ld. CIT(A) remand report has been furnished. We, therefore, find no merit in this ground raised by the revenue and the same is dismissed. 9. Apropos to ground no.2 relating to addition of Rs. 4,75,38,000/- contention of the assessee before Lower authorities is that this amount pertains to purchase consideration paid by partnership firm M/s Anil Enterprises for purchase of land and all the payments have been made through account payee cheque, therefore, the addition was wrongly made in the hands of assessee. We find that Ld. CIT(A) has dealt this issue in detail in the impugned order deleting the addition observing as follows:- Ground no.3 6.....

....rm by filing the bank account. Thus, when the property has been acquired by the firm and duly reflected there, than there is no question of any addition on account of unexplained investment. This ground of appeal is allowed. 9.1 From perusal of the above finding of Ld. CIT(A) as well as the paper book filed before us, we find that there was a transaction of purchase of land carried out on 29.11.2010 and the purchase consideration along with stamp duty and other charges were Rs. 4,75,38,000/-. On perusal of the purchase deed we find that this purchase was made by a partnership firm M/s. Anil Enterprises and in the purchase deed name of two partners are mentioned namely Shri Satish Chandra Gupta and assessee Shri Rajkumar Shanbhudayal Agrawal. Though the PAN No. of both the partners is mentioned but the documents clearly shows that purchase has been made in the name of M/s Anil Enterprises. Before us Ld. DR failed to controvert this fact. We, therefore, find no inconsistency in the finding of Ld. CIT(A) deleting the impugned addition by observing that the alleged sum is a purchase consideration paid by separate entity to purchase immovable property in its name for which no additio....

....wal and Shri Shambhudayal Agrawal. These facts are clearly evident from the deed of 05.06.2010 submitted by the appellant.

I am inclined to agree with the appellant submission that even otherwise also the appellant's case can't be subjected to any addition on this count as the property has been purchased by partnership firm. 8.2 As regards registration expenses, in respect of purchases of agriculture land by the assessee in co-ownership with other two persons referred to in ground no.4 , it has been submitted by the appellant that all the three co-owners carry different business in different field and the appellant's share amounting to Rs. 2,87 ,000/- has been met from out of the funds available with him in his business of JCB plying and other agencies as disclosed in Return of Income.

After a detailed and through verification, I have reached to the conclusion that the regis....

This is in accordance with' the remand report so submitted by the AO. I agree with finding of the A.O. in respect of addition made on account of short term capital gain, however only the share of this Rs. 7,50,330/ - can be added in the hands of the appellant. This share works out to Rs. 2,50, 110/- at Thus the addition on this ground in the appellant's hand is restricted Rs. 2,50, 110/-, at the same time, the AO is free to take action in the case of other two co-owners. This ground of appeal is partly allowed. 12.1 From perusal of the finding of Ld. CIT(A) as well as observations made by the lower authorities, we find that agricultural land purchased in the co-ownership of three persons including the assessee was sold during the year. Assessee is liable to pay tax only on his share of income. Ld. AO made the addition of Rs. 16,50,333/-. Ld. CIT(A) gave a relief of Rs. 9,00,000/- observing that this amount has already been taxed in the return of income. Out of the balance amount of Rs. 7,50,330/-, Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the addition of Rs....
