2018 (2) TMI 2041 - HC - Income Tax


Issues:
- Whether the ITAT erred in deleting the amount added by the Assessing Officer under Section 132 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Analysis:
The case involved a dispute regarding the addition of an amount by the Assessing Officer under Section 132 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, following a search conducted on the premises. The Assessing Officer added an amount of ?5,62,61,726 for the assessment year 2011-12 under Section 153A. However, both the CIT (A) and the ITAT granted relief to the assessee in the appellate proceedings. They held that no fresh incriminating material was found during the search to warrant the additions. The appellate authorities relied on the judgment in CIT v. Kabul Chawla, 380 ITR 573, to support their decision.

The key question before the Court was whether the ITAT was correct in deleting the added amount. The Court noted that the search conducted did not yield any fresh incriminating material justifying the additions made by the Assessing Officer. The Court found that the decisions of the CIT (A) and the ITAT were in line with the principles established in the judgment of CIT v. Kabul Chawla. The Court held that since no fresh incriminating material was found during the search, the additions made by the Assessing Officer were not warranted.

In light of the above analysis, the Court concluded that there was no question of law arising in the case as the principles laid down in the Kabul Chawla case were applicable. Therefore, the Court dismissed the appeal filed by the Revenue, upholding the decision of the ITAT to delete the added amount.
