..... the reassessment proceedings. The assessment made in the case of Smt. Hansaben Manilal Patel wherein the sale of land has been duly taxed on substantive basis. Though the said order remained unchallenged by her (Smt. Hansaben Manilal Patel allegedly a missing person) by way of appeal or revision. Whereas in the case of Shri Rameshji Thakor that the alleged substantive additions made in his hands were also deleted by Ld. CIT(A) as the source was been clearly proved by the assessee. Thus we do not find any infirmity in the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) who has deleted the protective addition made in the hands of the assessee herein.

The assessee company was having two directors namely Shri Deep Upendra Shah and Shri Kaushal Nayak who belonged to the JP Iscon group and they were introduced as directors. But the investigation carried out by the department revealed that they were dummy directors and name-givers only. The amount of Rs. 26.68 crores received by the assessee in its bank account remained unverified, since the assessee has not filed the Return of Income u/s. 139(1) of the Act.
