Petitioner Counsel :- A.N. Mahajan (S.C.) Respondent Counsel :- Ritvik Upadhyay 1. We have heard Shri Dhananjai Awasthi, learned counsel appearing for the Income Tax Department. Shri V.K. Upadhyay, Senior Advocate assisted by Shri Ritvik Upadhyay appears for the respondent-assessee. 2. This Income Tax Appeal filed by the Commissioner of Income Tax under 260-A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (in short, the Act) arises out of order dated 14.8.2008 passed by the Income-Tax Appellate Tribunal, Agra Bench, Agra in ITA No. 275/Agr/2007 for the assessment year 2004-05.

They had meager source of income and were all residing at Aligarh and Khurja, and majority of them are related to the directors of the assessee-company. The appellate authority confirmed the addition under Section 68 of the Act. 5. The Tribunal has, relying on the judgment of Supreme Court in CIT v.

Since the identity of the share applicants is not in doubt, at all, there is no reason to decline the claim of the assessee. Therefore, we allow ground nos. 1, 4 and 5 in favour of the assessee and order to delete the entire addition made in assess's hand." 8. We are of the view that on the facts of the case and the findings recorded by ITAT questions of law are covered by the judgment in Commissioner of Income Tax v. Lovely Exports (P) Ltd (supra) and the judgment of this Court in Jaya Securities Limited vs. CIT-II Kanpur (supra). 9. The questions of law are thus answered in favour of the respondent-assessee and against the revenue. 10. The Income Tax Appeal is dismissed. - - TaxTMI - TMITax - Income Ta .....
