That the Assessing Officer was not justified and had erred in law for not passing any speaking orders on the objection raised by the assessee with regard to initiation of proceedings u/s 147 of the act. In ITA no. 2727/Del/10, Revenue has raised following effective ground: In the facts and the circumstances of the case, the Ld. CIT(A) has erred in deleting the addition of ₹ 1,01,00,000/- made u/s 69A of the I.T. Act. 3. Relevant observations of CIT(A) regarding validity of proceedings u/s 147/148 are as under: 4.3.

It is contended by the appellant that the assessing officer proceeded to make an addition u/s 69A without discharging the burden to prove the ownership of the assessee over money etc. It was also contended that the addition was made merely on the basis of statements of third parties recorded during search on another person and that the appellant was never confronted with those statements, nor was any opportunity afforded for cross- examination, thus violating the principle of natural justice. 5.2.

On a departmental search in the case of a finance broker Shri Brij Mohan Gupta, a diary was found reflecting entry no. 177 in the name of the assessee.
