On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law the Ld.

The AO has not disputed the acquisition and sale of shares for the detailed discussion made in the earlier paras, the transaction cannot be treated as bogus one. Hence, the receipt of Rs.50,000/- stands explained. 23.6 Since the main addition is deleted, there is no case for addition of Rs.2,60,000/- towards alleged commission payment. Relief: Rs.26,00,000 + 2,60,000/- Accordingly, Ground No. 2 is allowed. 8. Apropos ground nos.1, 2 and 3 the DR supported the assessment order and submitted that CIT (A) has erred in deleting the addition of Rs.26,00,000/- which was rightly deemed income of the assessee u/s 68 of the Act treating credit to the books of the assessee as unexplained. The DR further contended that the CIT (A) has also erred in deleting the addition of Rs.2,60,000/- as commission paid by the assessee to said entry operators which must have been paid by the assessee company for obtaining entries and whitening undisclosed income of the assessee. 9.

Ltd. vide dated 09.12.2011, we hold that if sale consideration was bogus then the AO ought to have given reduction in the sale proceeds reflected in the books of accounts before making any addition in this regard. Therefore, we finally hold that the ground no.1, 2 and 3 of the Revenue are devoid of merits and deserve to be dismissed and we dismiss the same. 13. Apropos cross objections of the assessee, we are of the view that during the arguments, the AR fairly conceded that the cross objection filed by the assessee are only to support the impugned order and the AR did not make any further submissions to support cross objection. The Ld. DR submitted that the CIT (A) rightly uphold the action of the AO for initiating proceedings u/s 147 of the Act, for the year under consideration. 14. Since, the appeal of the Revenue has been dismissed by the earlier part of this order and cross objection of the assessee are only supportive to the impugned order, therefore, we hold that we have no reason to interfere with the findings of the CIT (A) upholding the action of the AO .....
