..... annot be taxed under section 41(1) or 28(iv), the disallowance is maintainable as unexplained cash credit under section 68 of the Act. On a further appeal, the ITAT set aside the matter in the light of certain fresh facts, i.e. the assessee obtained affidavits of Mr. Alfred D souza and Ms. Nandita D souza to the effect that they had given a sum of Rs.50,000/- each to the assessee for investing in shares of Hatima Textiles Ltd.

..... sessee received the amount from them, which in turn has to be given to Hatima Textiles Ltd. but the company having dropped the idea of private placement of its shares, the assessee showed Hatima Textiles Ltd. as creditor. At any rate, even if there is a dispute as to who should be treated as creditor, the undisputed fact is that it is not a fresh cash credit and hence the addition is not maintainable in this year. 7. On the other hand, the learned D.R. strongly relied upon the orders passed by the tax authorities. He mainly submitted that there is no proof of payment made to Mr. Alfred D souza and Ms. Nandita D souza in the year 2005.
