..... in the books of some other entity. In such facts and circumstances; I am constrained to hold that it is the appellant only who has received these hiring charges and is liable to tax on the same. However, it will be un-reasonable to tax the entire amount of hiring charges receipts because if the receipts have been kept out of the books; only the corresponding income should be brought to tax after estimating the expenditure incurred on a reasonable basis. My reasonable estimate is that in absence of any details and proof of such expenses; 20% of such hiring receipts should be brought to tax. Thus, the addition of Rs.83,93,869/- is to be restricted to Rs.16,78,774- (20% of Rs.83,93,869/-). 8.2 G.O.A. No.2 On the issue of un-explained cash deposit amounting to Rs.11,55,100/-; I do not find some force in appellant's submission and details (Bank statement) that this is not one time deposit; rather various cash installments have been deposited from time to time over the year aggregating to this amount. Given such picture; it will not be tenable to uphold this addition because, firstly, at the most, the peak deposit, being cash deposit of Rs.1,90,000/-, can be treated as peak unexplain .....

As regards merit of the case, we noticed that the A.O. made addition on the ground of amount of freight whereas the CIT(A) was of the view that only profit is to be added. Under the circumstances view taken by the CIT(A), is correct therefore, in the light of the fact, we do not find any infirmity in the order of the CIT(A) in sustaining the addition of Rs.16,78,774/- on account of hiring charges, the order of CIT(A) is confirmed. Thus, the Ground No.1 of the cross appeal is dismissed. Ground No.2 13.3 The Revenue has also raised two more issues. Ground Nos. 2 3 pertain to deletion of addition Rs.11,55,100/-. The CIT(A) deleted the said addition of Rs.11,55,000/- on the ground that he has allowed set off against the addition of Rs.16,78,774/- confirmed on account of truck hiring receipt and the amount of Rs.11,55,100/- and Rs.1,44,000/- were not separately added.
