The appeal has been preferred by the department on following substantial questions of law:- 1. Whether Hon'ble ITAT has erred in law as well as in the facts and circumstances of the case by dismissing the appeal of the revenue holding that presumption u/s 132 (4A) of Act is confined in reference to documents/material seized during the course of search for the purpose of its application u/s 132B, and therefore not available for framing assessment.

So far as agricultural income is concerned, the ITAT found that the assessee had produced the intikhab-Khatauni (document of title) before the AO, which was not considered by the AO.
