....to establish the source and nature of the credits in question. In the impugned order, the Ld.CIT(A) has accepted the claim without any verification exercise or opining about the quality of the evidences.

Counsel for the assessee supported the order of Ld.CIT(A). He submitted that the disallowance is purely on adhoc basis and cannot be sustained in view of the judicial pronouncements in this regard. 18. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the material available on record and gone through the orders of the authorities below. We find that Ld.CIT(A) has decided the issue by observing as under:- 6.2. "I have carefully considered the fact of the case, finding of the assessing officer and the submission of the Ld A.R. In this case the A.O has made disallowance of Rs.l,86,900/- being....
