..... & pg. 11 has neither been considered the judicial pronouncements nor passed any speaking order if the decisions in question on which reliance has been placed are distinguishable. Infact, there is no speaking order on the issue as to how the ratios of the judgment referred in para 6 & pg.10 of the Hon. Tribunal's order are not applicable to the facts of the case. Non consideration of the judgment is a mistake apparent from record and reliance is placed on the following judicial pronouncements in support of contention: i. CIT v Subodhchandra S. Patel (2004) 265 1TR 445 (Guj.) II. ACIT v Saurashtra Kutch Stock Exchange (2008) 305 ITR 227 (SC) 5.2 Furthermore, it is pertinent to note that the assessment of Shri Hemendra L.

..... 6.3 The AO in the original assessment has while making the addition u/s 69 clearly stated that no interest has been given on huge borrowings. It is only presuming that interest has been paid outside the books of accounts that additions have come to be made.

The copy of the statement so recorded has been placed on pg. 188 to 190 of the paper book. In fact it is the primary duty of the AO to identify the date and the amount of loan which is not acceptable and is proposed to be treated as unexplained cash credit.

In fact, the contention of the assessee is that there is no such transaction of Rs.50,00,000/- as presumed by the AO which would justify its treatment .....
