..... evidence to be called as violation under rule 46A(3). Considering the finding of fact by the Tribunal, we do not find any question of law for interference. On the question of addition made in respect of payment at shandies to be held as violative of section 40A(3) read with rule 6DD, the assessee has produced necessary grounds for making cash payment, considering the nature of trade carried on by the assessee, the Tribunal noted that these payments were made to small time vendors, who come from surrounding villages to sell the skin and the process of dressing the skin done without the aid of power. The Tribunal also noted from the order of the Commissioner, that considering the fact that the purchases were made from the unorganized sector, .....

..... re obtained by the assessee. Consequently, the Revenue alleged that when even the proof of the identity of the parties to whom payments were made was not discharged by the assessee, the order of the Tribunal, conferring the benefit of rule 6DD on the assessee, is unsustainable. 3. These appeals relate to the assessment year 2001-02. 4. It is seen, that in respect of the assessment year 2001-02, the assessment was completed, holding that there was undervaluation of the closing stock as well as unexplained money utilised for payment to shandy persons.

..... the Commissioner held that the entire payments were made in rule 6DD(f), (g), (k) and (l). Thus, applying the law laid down by this court in CIT v. Chrome Leather Company P. Ltd. reported in [1999] 235 ITR 708, the Commissioner granted the relief in favour of the assessee. Aggrieved by the same, the Revenue went on appeal and the assessee filed a cross appeal, in respect of the disallowance. 5. The Tribunal considered the claim of the Revenue as regards the deletion of the addition, on account of closing stock.

..... Revenue is in appeal in respect of the order held against it and the assessee' s appeal remitted by the Tribunal. 7. Learned counsel appearing for the Revenue submits that in the absence of any details to justify the deletion on undervaluation, the Tribunal ought to have upheld the order of the assessing authority. He also submits that the Commissioner of Income-tax considered the case only on the basis of additional evidence produced by the assessee that there was a large quantity of wet blue and in the absence of reconciliation, the Tribunal ought not to have considered this issue. 8. We do not find any justification to accept the said plea of the Revenue. As a matter of fact, the Tribunal noted that a large quantity of sale of .....
