JUDGMENT Heard on the question of admission. The appeal has been preferred as against the order passed by the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal affirming the order passed by the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals).

Each of these farmers appeared before the Assessing Officer to confirm that he sold his crops. Thus, there is no reason with the Assessing Officer to ignore their statements. Affidavits were enough and sufficient piece of evidence so as to accept the case of the asses- see. Reasons in detail have been given by the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) in 4-5 pages.
