The assessee had filed the details of the person, the detail of rural electrification bond, bank statement, registered will etc . On these documents no remanded report was given by the assessing officer and he has not disputed the identity, creditworthiness and relationship of SmtSita Devi .

We have also noted that the assessee had filed the additional document /evidence in support of his case to prove the creditworthiness , genuineness and identity of all the six creditors .We also noticed from the persual of the record, that the assessing officer had not given the sufficient opportunity to the assessee to produce the 4 creditors and therefore the assessee failed to produce four creditors before the assessing officer in the remand proceedings. The additional evidence filled by the assessee in respect to the following four depositors is required to be allowed and therefore we admi the same qua these four persons.
