Ltd. ITA No. 134/2012 dated 21.12.2012, wherein on the similar issue the Court has decided in favour of Revenue. 3. The order of the CIT(A) is erroneous and is not tenable on facts and in law." 2. The Cross Objection is filed by the assessee on the following grounds: 1. "That on the facts and circumstances of the case, the CIT(Appeals) has erred both in law and on facts in confirming the proceedings initiated u/s 153A of I.T.

7. Consistent with a view taken therein, we uphold the contention of the assessee that no addition can be made for this assessment year u/s 153A has no incriminating material was found during the course of search and as no assessment is pending as on date of search.
8. As we upheld this argument of the assessee in the cross objection, we need not adjudicate the appeal of the Revenue as it would be an academic exercise.
9. In the result, the appeal of the Revenue is dismissed and Cross Objection is allowed.
