..... s. On this the assessee told the Assessing Officer that they may be called directly, but he never issued any summon u/s. 131. It is of the view that Ld. CIT(A) has rightly observed that the Assessing Officer should have examined the documents and after that if needed should have summoned the share applicants and on this account the Assessee cannot force any one to appear before the AO. Therefore, the assessee has discharged his responsibility in giving the details. In view of this, Ld. CIT(A) has rightly deleted the addition - Decided in favour of assessee Disallowance towards interest on the ICD - Held that:- AO asked the assessee to explain that why this interest should not be disallowed. The assessee submitted the details of ICD, but .....

..... led the present appeal before the Tribunal. 5. Ld. Sr. DR has relied upon the order of the AO and reiterated contentions raised in the grounds of appeal filed by the Revenue. 6. On the other hand, Ld. Counsel of the Assessee has relied upon the order of the Ld. CIT(A) and stated that Ld.

Therefore, the assessee has discharged his responsibility in giving the details. In view of this, Ld. CIT(A) has rightly deleted the addition of ₹ 10 lacs as unexplained cash credit which does not need any interference on my part, hence, I uphold the order of the Ld. CIT(A) on the issue in dispute and reject the ground no. 1 raised by the Revenue. 7.2 With regard to disallowance .....
