Case Laws Income Tax HC

HC upheld the Tribunal's decision, affirming the CIT(A)'s deletion of addition under Section 68. The department failed to establish three critical elements: investor identity, creditworthiness, and transaction genuineness. Evidence demonstrated the assessee's financial robustness, with inventory growth, profit escalation, and increased earnings per share. The tribunal, after meticulously examining 1029 pages of documentation, concluded that the revenue's allegations lacked substantive merit. The court found no substantial legal question warranting further intervention, effectively validating the lower appellate authorities' concurrent findings regarding the share capital's legitimacy.
