..... ld not assume so much of significance so as to made disallowance of Rs 50 lakhs, when the genuineness and business connection to the Gagan Gallaxy project is established. As such the AO does not have any incriminating material in his possession to demonstrate that the impugned expenditure is incurred in connection with any other project. It is the case of wild allegation against the assessee that the said expenditure is not incurred for Gagan Gallaxy Project and such allegation should only be made when the AO has some incriminating material in his possession. Therefore, no reason to interfere with the order of the CIT (A). - I.T.A. NO.3829/M/2011 - - - Dated:- 15-2-2013 - Dinesh Kumar Agarwal And D. Karunakara Rao,JJ. For the Appella .....

Even in some, cases, after handing over of flat, builder has to do hundreds of miscellaneous work like fitting of aluminium sliding, paving work, development of surrounding area, front gate works, miscellaneous pending works and so on.
