Few of these additions were deleted by the CIT(A) and some more additions were deleted by the Tribunal.

The Tribunal had sustained the addition of Rs. 7,34,480, but deleted the addition of Rs. 5,31,170 on the ground that the addition of both the excess outgo as peak credits cannot be sustained in view of the fact that when computation of peak credit, the outgo would also be considered in the peak credit calculated on the continuous inflow and outflow of the funds, only once addition is called for. On this basis, higher of the two is sustained. This approach of the Tribunal is again without blemish. 12. We, thus, find that no question of law arises, these appeals are accordingly dismissed. ITA No. 1366 of 2009 ITA No. 1367 of 2009 13. .....
