He further urged that since all the credit entries in all the three Bank accounts have been duly explained by the assessee including the source of each and every credit entry made therein no addition, whatsoever is permissible. Further that, the compensation amounts so received by the assessee has already been taxed during the assessment proceeding for A.Y. 2009-10 and therefore addition on the same accounts in the year under consideration would be nothing but double taxation, which is either not permissible in law.

Similarly, in the assessment order under consideration, as mentioned above, Long Term Capital Gain has been worked out on the sale consideration of ₹ 17,49,954/- on account of acquisition of land. Since both the amounts have already been considered by AO, again making addition of those amounts would amount to double taxation, which is not permissible as per law. 5.3 In view of above discussion, it is held that the source of credit entries of ₹ 72,75,116/- is explained, therefore, there is no justification to addition made by AO of that amount.

Similarly, nothing has been explained or submitted by appellant regarding disclosure of interest amounts of .....
