..... e surrender made by the assessee during the course of survey u/s 133A which was ever retreated by the assessee. 2.

..... that there was any fresh information or material so as to initiate proceedings of re-assessment u/s 143(3) and as such the whole basis of initiation of proceedings was illegal and without jurisdiction. It was also argued that Assessing Officer had recorded satisfaction on mechanical basis and without proper appreciation of facts. The Ld CIT(A) after going through the submissions of Ld AR deleted the addition made by the Assessing Officer by holding as under:- I have gone through the assessment order and written submissions of the appellant. I have also considered the case laws relied upon by the appellant. In this case the original assessment order was done u/s 143(3).

In view of the above, the Ld DR submitted that assessee had clearly surrendered the amount as unexplained income and therefore there was no justification by the Ld CIT(A) in deleting the same. 8. The Ld AR, on the other hand, argued that original assessment was completed u/s 143(3) and assessment was completed before the date of survey and therefore all facts were before Assessing Officer. In this res .....

The assessee had also credited to his capital account amounts due to creditors M/s Fair Deal Corporation and M/s Super Sales India and further had reversed these amounts by debit to capital account and credit to the respective accounts of the creditors on 31.3.2007. The necessary evidence making these credits in the creditor s accounts is available in paper book pages 47 onwards.
