He submitted that with respect to addition of ₹ 1375000/- in case Alay Hasan Education Society, he has completely examined the evidences.

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.

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 .

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.
