..... for RTO liaison work the Assessing Officer estimated such income at Rs.30,000/-. While doing so, he noted that this is the income shown by the assessee for the first year of filing his return of income. In appeal the Ld.CIT(A) upheld the action of the Assessing Officer for which the assessee is in appeal before us. 3. The Ld. Counsel for the assessee strongly challenged the addition of Rs.9,150/- made by the Assessing Officer and sustained by the CIT(A). She submitted that since the assessment has been completed u/s.143(3) r.w.s. 153A and since no incriminating material was found during the course of search, therefore, the Assessing Officer was not justified in rejecting the income declared by the assessee and estimating such income at Rs .....

In the case of Shri Gurinder Singh Bawa (Supra), the return was filed prior to the date of search. Further, in that case, assessment had been processed u/s.143(1) and no notice u/s.143(2) has been issued. Ther .....

..... ny income of the A.Y. 2002-03. The opening balance of Rs.5,51,321/- also consisted of cash of Rs.1,25,726/-. The appellant has not given any evidence to the effect that this cash actually has been brought forward from the earlier year.
