That the ld CIT ( A ) has erred in deleting the addition of Rs . 2400000 /- on account of claim of loan from Mohd Ilyas by accepting the identity and credit worthiness of creditor and genuineness of transactions . 3 . The ld CIT ( A ) erred in deleting the addition of Rs . 2923500 /- made by the AO on account of unexplained cash deposits in bank account on the grounds that the sources are past withdrawals . 3. The brief facts of the case are that the assessee is an individual who is a director in M/s JMA appliance private limited. It derives only the salary income and income from other sources. For the impugned assessment year he filed his return of income on 31st of March 2008 declaring an income of ₹ 124565/ .

A) and submitted that after carefully considering the evidences placed has deleted the addition. He submitted that with respect to addition of ₹ 1375000/- in case Alay Hasan Education Society, he has completely examined the evidences. Therefore, there is no error in the order of the ld CIT (A). 6. We have carefully considered the rival contentions. On perusal of para No. 9 while deleting the addition of ₹ 1375000/- on account of Alay Hasan Education Society the ld CIT (A) has examined certain new evidences, which are listed there. We do not find any reference to the application made by the assessee for not submitting these details before the Assessing Officer and therefore any request before him to admit these evidences and adjucate. Even otherwise, he has not obtained the comments of the Assessing Officer with respect to these evidences. In para No. 9 the ld CIT(A) has held as under:- 9 .

The reason for advancing loan to appellant who is a secretary of the society as stated that the amount was given to secretary in cash for the purpose of purchase of plot at Noida and greater Noida. However, no details were available which plot was identified and what was the price of that plot etc and why consideration was required to be paid in cash only. Furthermore looking to the dates of the transaction it is apparent that on 24 /4/ 2006 a sum of ₹ 4 Lacs was provided in cash to the assessee by that society and immediately on 26/04/2006 a sum of ₹ 5 lakhs has been repaid by the appellant to that society. It is interesting to note that if the plot is not purchased then the sum was used by the assessee up to 18th may 2006 when ₹ 3 lakhs was repaid and on 3/2/2007 ₹ 5.75,000/- was repaid. The time between the sum paid by the society to the appellant and the sum repaid by the assessee to the society does not inspire confidence about the genuineness of the transaction.

CIT appeal with a direction to verify the creditworthiness and genuineness of the transaction and then decide the issue on merit. In the result ground No. 2 of the appeal of the revenue is allowed with above direction. 12.
