On the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Ld. CIT(A) has grossly erred in upholding that assessee has declared additional income of ₹ 5,232/- in return of income filed in response to notice issued u/s 153A without appreciating the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions made before the Ld. AO. Thus, the conclusion so drawn based on wrong appreciation of facts, deserves to be ignored. 1.1 That the Ld.

Against the above order of the ld. CIT(A), the assessee is in further appeal before the ITAT. 7. We have considered the rival contentions and carefully gone through the orders of the authorities below and found from the record that the assessee had not declared any additional income, pursuant to search in any of the assessment years involved.

Moreover, we observe that it is not a case where the claim of any deduction has not been lodged in the original return filed u/s 139(1) and now the assessee wants to take the benefit of the same in the return of income filed u/s 153A.
