..... or fresh computation after verification as to whether the amount of Rs.1,13,500/- form part of the addition of Rs.13,55,617/-. Next question is with regard to Rs.4,21,748/- on account of unaccounted investment in the purchase of chillies. The learned Tribunal on fact found that it was not in dispute that the assessee purchased chillies outside the books of account and the profit arising out of such purchase was already offered for taxation. Hence, there was no need for any further addition. The learned Tribunal on fact also found that the assessee purchased chillies outside the books of account, which was found during the course of search operations.

..... course of block assessment proceedings. Therefore, the learned Tribunal correctly held that the sum of Rs.4,67,909/- cannot be treated as undisclosed income, and deleted the same from addition. While dealing with the assessee's appeal, the learned Tribunal dealt with the matter in the manner as follows. The first ground in this appeal was with regard to the addition of Rs.33,29,300/-. After examining the records and material, the learned Tribunal on fact found as follows.

..... officer to make addition of only Rs.1 lakh instead of Rs.10 lakhs with regard to the advances made by the assessee to Sri Ram Cold Storage. This factual computation and analysis cannot be gone into by this Court, as it does not involve any question of law. Next ground of the assessee's appeal was with regard to addition of Rs.1,80,000/- on account of repayment of loan from undisclosed sources in the case of B. Sriram Reddy. The learned Tribunal on this contention found that when the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) has followed the peak credit concept, there is no need to make any separate addition in respect of Rs.1,80,000/- and that the assessee has explained the sources for repayment. Under such circumstances, the learned Tribuna .....

Therefore, there is no question of making any addition in the hands of the present assessee. Thereafter, the learned Tribunal found that the spouses of the respective partners who have also contributed substantially, were assessed to income tax. They have also sufficient credit balances in their books of account, so as to advance funds to the assessee firm. In the circumstances, the addition of Rs.69,28,945/- as undisclosed income in the hands of the assessee firm is not warranted. Therefore, the finding of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) in deleting the addition made by the assessing officer was just and perfect. In view o .....
