..... y M/s. High Rise contractors and construction professionals. It was, inter alia, stated in the said certificate that the assessee had completed the work for Sterling Holiday Resorts, Munnar, amounting to Rs.1 crore. According to the assessee, this certificate had been obtained for pre-qualifying in some other contract, and it is not an instance where the assessee had actually done the said work.

Having regard to these findings by the appellate authority and the Tribunal confirming the same, based on the material evidence available in the case, we do not think that any of the findings have given rise to any substantial question of law as narrated in the memorandum of appeal. The validity of the documents relied upon by the assessing officer had been considered in great detail and the first appellate authority had narrated the availability of evidence for arriving at the conclusions with reference to the undisclosed income alleged to have been made by the assessee. Since it is not shown that any of these findings are either perverse .....
