He further observed that in order to verify genuineness of the expenditure claimed, it is necessary that the assessee produce complete details, which in the present case, were not furnished.

When this issue was not taken up for scrutiny and examination by the AO then the contentions raised by the assessee before the CIT in revision proceedings are merely the submissions without verification of the fact from the examination of the record. It is admitted by the assessee that complete details of the expenditure were not furnished before the AO as well as before the CIT on the ground that it is a huge/large number of details which is not possible to be furnished. We find that the CIT had not given a c .....
