..... t case, it cannot be said that ad hoc disallowance was made by the Assessing Officer without any basis. Admittedly, the disallowance is made by the Assessing Officer on the basis that huge expenses have been paid by the assessee in cash which is not verifiable and therefore, we confirm the disallowance of ₹ 7 lac. Regarding disallowance of ₹ 2 lacs out of motor running expenses claimed by the assessee at ₹ 29,19,901/- we find that out of total payment of ₹ 29.12 lac, only a payment of ₹ 4.31 lac was made by DD/cheque and the remaining amount was paid in cash.

..... considered opinion that when the entire amount of claim made by the assessee was shown by the assessee as income in the year of claim, loss arising due to short realization in the present year after finalization of the claim has to be allowed as business loss and the same is not dependent on this as to whether the claim is in respect of building or in respect of stock. The claim in the present year is on this basis that the income accounted for in earlier year i.e. A. Y.2003-04 is not realized and, therefore, written off in the present year and hence, the same is allowable in the present year. Therefore, the issue raised by the Revenue in its appeal is rejected and ground No. 2 of the assessee is allowed. 7.1 Regarding the three other issues raised by the assessee in ground No. 2 being ad hoc disallowance out of repairs of plant machinery, motor running expenses and misc. expenses of ₹ 7,00,000/-, ₹ 2,00,000/- and ₹ 6,00,000/- respectively, it was submitted by learned A.R. of the assessee that such ad hoc disallowances are not justified and, therefore, the same should be deleted.

Admittedly, the disallowance is made by the Assessing Officer on the basis that huge expenses have been paid by the assessee in cash which is not verifiable and therefore, we confirm the disallowance of ₹ 7 lac. 9.1 The third item is regarding disallowance of ₹ 2 lacs out of motor running expenses claimed by the assessee at ₹ 29,19,901/-. In fact, the disallowance was made by the Assessing Officer of ₹ 2,92,900/-. The basis given by the Assessing Officer of making this disallowance is this that the assessee could not substantiate the claim fully with any kind of supporting vouchers.
