CIT(A) erred in confirming the order of Assessing Officer (AO) by sustaining the disallowance of Rs. 12,51,660/- on account of peak credit. 3. Briefly stated facts are that assessee is an individual and declared his income under the head "business and income from other source". The assessee was maintaining three bank accounts, wherein the following cash were deposited during the year under consideration:- Bank name & account No. Period Cash IDBI bank A/c No. 72404000000134, 01.04.10 to 31.03.11 46,74,172/- Bank of Baroda A/c No,12400100000552, 01.04.10 to 31.03.11 4,31,000/- Bank of Baroda O/D 12400400010011, 01.04.10 t .....

(d) Return of income of appellant's father shows net profit of Rs. 1,39,447/- from Brokerage / Commission / Hire job. Turnover details were not furnished to support the claim of cash sales utilized in the deposits in IDBI Account. If turnover of Rs. 23,47,000/- as stated now is considered, then appellants father return of income should have been higher considering purchases of Rs. 16,94,035/- (e) Appellant's evasive reply about nature of business before the AO and even the stated business of fruit & vegetables trading not supporting the transaction with Zydus Wellness Limited and JK Helen Curtis Limited as per bank statement narration further raises doubt about true nature of business. 3.

Thus, the total cash deposits of Rs. 6,31,00/- treated by the AO as unexplained investment is hereby confirmed. In view of the above findings, the addition of Rs. 30,67,723/- made by the AO u/s 69 of the IT Act is hereby reduced to Rs. 12,51,660/-." Being aggrieved by this order of Ld. CIT(A) assessee came in second appeal before us on the following grounds:- "1. For that, the order of assessment is bad as the assessing officer has not considered the evidence and document submitted by the appellant hence order is against the natural justice as such is liable to set aside. 2. For, that the addition on account of unexplained deposit in ba ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... ther bank account. Similarly the ld. CIT-A has not considered the cash withdrawn and deposit by the father of the assessee. The AR for the assessee has submitted the copies of all the bank statements which are placed on pages 1 to 11 of the paper book and the affidavit of the father of the assessee in support of its contention which is placed on page 16 to 18 of the paper book. The ld. AR also requested to restore the matter to the AO for fresh adjudication after considering all the cash deposit entries in all the bank accounts of the assessee in total as well as after considering the cash entries belonging to his father. On the other hand the ld. DR raised no objection if the matter is restored to the AO for fresh adjudication and relied o .....

Therefore we find that there is force in the argument of the ld. AR which has not been adjudicated without adducing any reason thereon. It is also not disputed that the father of the assessee was joint holder in IDBI bank account and from this account the business payments were made by the father of the assessee. Therefore in the interest of justice & fair play we are of the opinion that the instant issue needs to be reconsidered in the light of the affidavit submitted by the father of the assessee. In our considered view the affidavit given by the father of the assessee cannot ju ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
