Following grounds have been raised by the assessee: 1. That the Ld. AO had erred on facts and under the law without bringing any conclusive evidence on record in making an addition of ₹ 17,76,209/- on account of alleged unexplained investment u/s. 69 of I.T. Act on the ground that such amount was allegedly paid in cash outside its books of accounts to M/s. V.K. Tours Transport. 2. That the Ld. CIT(A) had no jurisdiction to make enhancement of addition from ₹ 17,76,209/- to ₹ 49,02,000/- resulting in enhanced addition of ₹ 31,25,791/- on account of alleged purchase of vehicle without giving a notice/reasonable opportunity of being heard to the Appellant for making such enhancement as provided u/s. 251(2) of I.T. Act and consequently, the enhanced addition of ₹ 31,25,791/- as made being wholly illegal, deserves to be deleted. 3. That without prejudice to above, addition of ₹ 17,76,209/- as made by the AO being wholly unjust, arbitrary and untenable, ought to have been deleted by the Ld. CIT(A) and there was also no justification on the part of Ld. .....

That the levy of interest u/s. 234 vide Income-tax Computation Form dated 26/11/2012 at ₹ 2,96,12,650/- is wholly unjust and illegal. At any rate, without prejudice, the levy of such interest is very excessive. 3. The assessee has filed additional grounds before the Tribunal on 26.11.2018 and requested for admission of the same. The additional grounds read as under: 1. The reopening of assessment is illegal, bad in law and the assessment order passed pursuant to such illegal assumption of jurisdiction is void ab-initio which deserves to be quashed. 4. During the hearing for the admission of the additional ground, the ld. DR opposed for admission of additional ground arguing that this is not the time to raise such grounds as the AO and ld. CIT(A) have not been confronted with any such objection and raising of the technical ground at this juncture cannot be admitted. 5. The ld. AR argued that the ground raised being a legal .....

The Appellate Assistant Commissioner must be satisfied that the ground raised was bona fide and that the same could not have been raised earlier for good reasons. The Appellate Assistant Commissioner should exercise his discretion in permitting or not permitting the assessee to raise an additional ground in accordance with law and reason. The same observations would apply to appeals before the Tribunal also. 7. The view that the Tribunal is confined only to issues arising out of the appeal before the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) takes too narrow a view of the powers of the Appellate Tribunal [vide, e.g., C.I.T. v. Anand Prasad (Delhi), C.I.T. v. Karamchand Premchand P. Ltd. and C.I.T. v. Cellulose Products of India Ltd. Undoubtedly, the Tribunal will have the discretion to allow or not allow a new ground to be raised. But where the Tribunal is only required to consider a question of law arising from the facts which are on record in the assessment proceedings we fail to see why such a question should not be allowed to be raised when it is n .....
