..... acts of the case, the capital gains and interest is to be computed in the hands of the HUF and not hands of the individual as held by the authorities below. As decided in case of ITO vs. Ch. Atchaiah [ 1995 (12) TMI 1 - SUPREME COURT ] under the present Act, the Income Tax Officer has no option like the one he had under the 1922 Act. He can, and he must, tax the right person and the right person alone. By right person , we mean the person who is liable to be taxed, according to law, with respect to a particular income. The expression wrong person is obviously used as the opposite of the expression right person . Merely because a wrong person is taxed with respect to a particular income, the Assessing Officer is not precluded from taxing the right person with respect to that income. This is so irrespective of the fact which course is more beneficial to the Revenue. Accordingly, we remand these issues to the Ld.CIT(A) to be dealt with in accordance with law, without being prejudiced with the view already taken by the authorities below. Accordingly, all the grounds raised by all the assessee in the appeals filed before us stands allowed for statistical purposes. - ITA No .....

While calculating the peak credit of the family members, the following aspects were considered by the Ld.AO: a. The bank accounts of the appellant Shri K. Nagesh Reddy, Shri Jaipal Reddy, Shri Venkataswamy Reddy, Shri Ramesh Reddy and Smt. Radhika Reddy were clubbed to arrive at the peak credit. b. The cash withdrawn and the cash deposited by the account holders was merged date-wise. c. The cash withdrawn by the account holder is considered as the cash available with the family members for any deposits made by them subsequently. d. The cash withdrawn by persons other than the account holders was not considered as cash available with the family members since there was no evidence to show that the cash withdrawn by others was actually handed over to the account holders. e. Thus, the peak credit was arrived at afte .....

..... s and requested to consider the withdrawal made through these persons as the cash available on hand. 4.12 The assessee had not produced any evidence to show that the money withdrawn by the above persons were handed over to the assessee. Normally in the transaction involving withdrawal of huge cash from the bank, the job is entrusted to a single person who is trust worthy. In the instant case, several people were withdrawing the cash from the bank. The assessee did not produce any evidence to show that these persons were employed with him. Further, if the money has been withdrawn by the so called employees, nothing prevented the assessee from giving the details like address, etc and producing them before the undersigned for verification. Therefore, the contention of the assessee that the money withdrawn from the bank by the persons other than the assessee should also be considered as cash available on hand is rejected. Thus, the explanation offered by the assessee in respect of the cash credits to the extent of ₹ 88,50,000/- in the bank account is not satisfactory. 3. Aggrieved by the order of AO, assessee preferred appeal before Ld.CIT(A). After observing the asse .....

He submitted that the assessee was unable to link the cash withdrawn from the bank with the cash deposits and therefore the addition is justified. 5. We have perused the submissions advanced by both sides in the light of records placed before us. 5.1 The first issue that needs to be considered is whether the additional evidence filed by the Ld.AR today deserves to be admitted or not. In order to admit the additional evidence, as per Rule 29 of IT Rules, certain criteria needs to be satisfied. The primary requirement is, whether sufficient opportunity was granted to assessee for producing these evidences before the authorities below. 5.2 We note that the assessment order is dated 27.03.2015. Assessee was issued notice u/s. 143(2) on 01.12.2014. Assessee filed various details and replied on 11.12.2014 There .....
