Since, none of those persons seems to be a relative or close friends of the assessee, none of them would have waited for on money till a period of about seven years, i.e. from September, 1997 till July 2004 as has been stated in these replies. Such assertion, on the other hand, belies not only the claim of the assessee, but the stand of the retiring partners also. 3. From the side of the applicant, learned AR, Mr. M.K. Patel appeared.

Since, the assessee had accepted an undisclosed interest income; therefore, the AO had proceeded to tax the undisclosed principle amount of Rs.80 lacs (approximate). The assessee on the other hand has pleaded that erstwhile partners of M/s. Ekta Corporation have not received full payment but recovered the payment in bits and pieces over the years after the retirement and upto the time of search. The contention of learned AR before us is that no finding on that fact was given by learned CIT(A).
