Hind Steel Traders towards purchase of iron scrap and duly reflected in the sales. Out of the other advances, an amount of Rs. 20,000/- was made to Sri P. madhusudhan against purcahse of property and the same is reflected in the balance sheet filed by the assessee for the year under consideration. Further, an amount of Rs. 50,000/- was paid to Sri Manish Agarwal of Rs. 50,000/- as a loan through cheque and the same was also reflected in the balance sheet and therefore, these three transactions are accepted as business transactions. As regard to the other two blank cheques for Rs. 2,00,000/- and Rs. 10,00,000/- issued by M/s. Saif Steels & Mr. Shaik Abdul Nayeem respectively, the assessee stated that no such loans were actually given by him and the same were kept with him against supply of iron scrap.

However, the appellant stated that he never advanced any money to the said person therefore, no addition was called for. The Ld.CIT(A) after examining the explanation had disbelieved the explanation offered by the appellant and finally held that the appellant was using his own unaccounted money in providing unaccounted loans against security of promissory notice and cheques and therefore, upheld the addition. 6. It was contended before us that the documents seized are only dumb documents and therefore, no addition can be made. On the other hand, Ld.CIT(A) had placed reliance on the lower authorities and submitted that the seized documents cannot be called dumb documents since the documents are duly signed and filled up. Since the assessee had failed to explain satisfactorily under what circumstances, the blank cheques came into his possession of the appellant, the addition sho .....
