..... nt, the Tribunal in para 8 had recorded as under:- 8. We have duly considered the rival contentions and gone through the record carefully.

This affidavit does not lead the case of the assessee anywhere. It only disclosed that M/s Shubham Gems had operated at the given address.

..... of the view that it is an attempt to create capital without paying any tax, it is not a genuine claim. Learned CIT (Appeals) failed to appreciate the facts in right perspective. He was not justified in deleting the addition. We allow the appeal of the revenue set aside the order of learned CIT(Appeals) and restore that of the Assessing Officer. 7. Learned counsel for the appellant made a feeble attempt to dislodge the findings recorded by the Tribunal but was unable to substantiate his pleas. An effort was made to show that the aforesaid finding was perverse. Nothing was disclosed in the wealth tax returns. Further, the evidence which had been produced was of recent origin in the form of sale invoice or report of valuer. Initially, .....
