....after referred to as 'the Act') relating to the Assessment Year 2011-12. 2. The solitary ground raised by the Revenue reads as follows: 1) "Whether in the facts and on the circumstances of the case and in law, the Ld. CIT(A) is correct in deleting the penalty levied u/s. 271(1)(c) holding that the issue has been decided in favour of appellant by the Hon'ble ITAT, consequential penalty u/s. 271(1)(c) levied by the Assessing Officer does not survive despite the fact that the decision of Hon'ble ITAT has been challenged and an appeal was filed before Hon'ble Gujarat High Court". 3.

The addition made by the AO and upheld by the CIT(A) has been deleted by the Hon'ble ITAT in its order in ITA Nos. 253-254/AHD/2020 pronounced on 12/07/2023. The relevant part of the order of the Hon'ble ITAT is reproduced as under: (i) As regards the addition of Rs. 7.25,00,000/-confirmed by the CIT(A), it is held as under: "9.9 On perusal of the above statement of Shri SCS, it is noticed that the fund was involved of the promoter of the company ....

....in physical form is treated as bogus and disallowed." 16.1 However, the undisputed fact is this that the assessee has not made any sales of the shares of the impugned company. Therefore, in our considered view the addition has been made by the AO which was consequently confirmed by the ld. CIT(A), on wrong assumption of facts. 16.2 It is also pertinent to note that the loss was shown by the assessee on account of valuation of the shares determined as on 31/03/2011, which can be verified from the copy of the ledger placed on record. It is a settled position of law that the closing stock of one year becomes the opening stock of subsequent year meaning thereby there is no effect on the income of the assessee on account of dif....

....ntile Pvt Ltd., we note that the assessee has not filed any of the document either before the lower authorities or before us to justify the amount of loan received from GGF Mercantile Pvt Ltd.

Accordingly we confirm the addition of Rs. 52 lacs under the provision of section 68 of the Act Hence, the ground of appeal of the assessee is hereby portly allowed." (iii) The appellant against the addition of Rs 52,00,000/-confirmed by the Hon'bie ITAT, as discussed in para 5.1 (iii) above, a Miscellaneous Application was filed by the assessee claiming that the Hon'ble ITAT has inadvertently overlooked documents in r....

....assessee is partly allowed for the statistical purposes. 28.7 In view of the above, the Miscellaneous Application filed by the assessee is allowed in the manner as discussed above 5. In the result, the Miscellaneous Application filed by the assessee is allowed." 5.3. Respectfully following the decision of the Hon'ble ITAT reproduced above, when the very addition on which penalty has been levied u/s 271(1)(c) has been deleted/set-aside for fresh adjudication, the penalty levied u/s. 271(1)(c) also does not survive. Therefore, the penalty levied u/s. 271(1)(c) of the Act of Rs. 2,72,76,410/- is directed to be deleted. The ground of appeal is therefore allowed. 5.1. We do not find any infirmity in the order pa....
