..... Therefore, the learned CIT(Appeals) was justified in refusing to admit this additional evidence in the case Shri Guljari Lal for loan of ₹ 2,50,000/-. Even before us no confirmation or any evidence have been filed to prove the genuineness of the credit. It was observed that the additional evidence produced before CIT(A) was not sufficient to discharge the onus upon the assessee to prove the genuine credit in the matter and further that the assessee had also failed to explain as to why the additional evidence could not be produced before the Assessing Officer. It has also been recorded that no independent confirmation of the creditors had been filed by the assessee. Thus, it was concluded that the assessee had booked bogus purchase .....

..... llant. 4. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant. 5. It has been categorically recorded by the Tribunal after appreciating the evidence on record that the assessee failed to prove the identity of the creditors, their capacity and genuineness of the transactions in the matter.
