The sworn statement u/s 132(4) in the present case is the evidence relatable to the material or information as available with the Assessing Officer in the nature of the documents recovered from the SUT Hospital. It is also pertinent that the CIT appeals had confirmed only those additions made on account of the undisclosed income from the SUT Hospital and had deleted all the other additions. There was a departmental appeal from the order of the CIT appeals with respect to the additions deleted also, but the Revenue has not chosen to challenge the order of the Tribunal allowing the appeal of the Revenue.

The CIT appeals deleted all additions, except that made on account of the materials recovered and estimation made with respect to the income from SUT Hospital. The surcharge levied was also deleted. The assessee was in appeal from the addition made and the Revenue from the deletion of additions and surcharge. The Tribunal confirmed the additions in the appeal of the assessee and set aside the order of the CIT appeals with respect to surcharge in the Revenue's appeal. The deletion of additions by the first appellate authority were left untouched. Hence; the two appeals from the separate orders of the Tribunal in the appeals filed by the asessee and the Revenue.

In the present case, it is true that the Department had received some documents from the search conducted in the premises of SUT hospital. However, that alone will not result in undisclosed income being found in the hands of the assessee, unless there is some evidence recovered from the search conducted in the assessee's own premises, which is relatable to what is collected from the premises of SUT Hospital. There being no such evidence collected from the assessee's premises, as also many of the documents obtained from SUT hospital not being authenticated by the assessee, there could be no compu .....

The documents as recovered from the SUT Hospital tallied with the sworn statement made by the assessee under Section 132(4) of the Act. The assessee had a contention that he returned only the amounts received through Bank accounts and there was a claim raised against the hospital, which was referred for arbitration and later given up. The arrangement between the assessee and the hospital having been specifically deposed to, under Section 132(4) of the Act; if a contrary case is set up, then the onus to prove it, is on the assessee.

ITA No.1747 of 2009 would stand rejected. 11. Two questions arise in the appeal numbered as 1743 of 2009 which are re-framed as follows: 1. Whether the assessee is liable to surcharge on tax which was made effective from 01.06.2002 alone? 2. Whether the assessee's claim for loss on house property can be set off against income computed for the block period? 12.
