The AO has not made any further inquiry in this regard, and there is no material on record to doubt the genuineness of the documentary evidences filed by the assessee. Accordingly, the credit entry of ₹ 7 lakhs on sale of gold ornaments belonging to the mother of assessee, Smt.

The ld.CIT(A) has erred in not appreciating the fact that the so-called notice under sec. 143(2) has never been served to the assessee nor to his any authorized representative and since admitted by both the authorities that there is no acknowledgement receipt on record of the Department, an as such, the consequential proceedings under sec. 143(3) is itself bad in law, void ab-initio and illegal. 2. In not appreciating the fact that the provision of section 292BB is not applicable to the assessment year in dispute i.e. Asstt.Year 2006-07 as argued before the CIT(A) as per his order parag4 5 para 4.1.3, and as such, the CIT(A) ought to have agreed that since the provision of section 292BB is not applicable and since the notice under section 143(2) has not been served, the whole assessment framed is itself bad in law, void ab-initio and illegal 7.

We find that there was no mistake in the order of the CIT(A) in holding that section 68 applies to the case of Shri Sunilkumar Agrawal since the bank account in which the credit entries were found belonged to him and moreover, the amount of cash credit has already been added in the name of Shri Sunilkumar Agrawal, and therefore, it could not be added in the hands of the assessee. We find that the assessee has filed copy of the bank account with Shri Vinayak Sahakari Bank Ltd., Ahmedabad at page no.6 7 of its compilation, wherein various credit entries were found on different dates and the said bank account was in the name of Shri Sunilkumar Agrawal. We find that merely on the basis of some statement given by Shri Sunilkumar Agrawal, it could .....
