..... being challenged on facts and law. 2. Even the quantum of additions are being disputed since even without returning any findings of whatsoever kind of the `Resources' and the `Basis Of Charge' which are the initial step before bringing the transaction within the scope of `Income'. 3. Because the action for upholding the addition for Rs.29,964/- u/s 80C towards amount spent for house renovation is being challenged on facts and law." 2.
