Issues involved: Appeal u/s 260A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 challenging deletion of additions made by Assessing Officer on account of share capital, share application money, and investment in HTCCL.
Deletion of Additions: The appeal questioned whether the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) and the Tribunal erred in law in deleting the additions made by the Assessing Officer. The court noted that the assessee received application money through account payee cheques and provided a complete list of shareholders with their details. The Assessing Officer's grievance was the failure to produce the parties who advanced the funds. The court held that the initial onus of the assessee was met by disclosing full particulars, shifting the burden to the Assessing Officer to verify the correctness. Since the Assessing Officer did not take necessary steps to verify, the additions under section 68 of the Income Tax Act were deemed unjustified. Concurrent Findings: Both the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) and the Tribunal correctly applied the law based on the evidence. The court found no reason to interfere with the factual findings and dismissed the appeal for lack of substantial legal questions. The connection application was disposed of as the appeal was dismissed.
