..... isions of law. 2. On the fact and circumstances of the case as well as in Law, the Learned CIT(A) has erred in confirming the action of the Learned Assessing Officer in making an addition. 3. On the fact and circumstances of the case as well as in Law, the Learned CIT(A) has erred in confirming the action of the Learned Assessing Officer in making an addition of Rs. 8,368/- on account of alleged commission paid in cash @ 2% of Rs. 4,18,437/-, without considering the facts and circumstances of the case." 3.
