A/R has relied upon the decision of Hon'ble Delhi High Court in case of SKY View Consultants Pvt. Ltd. vs. ITO, 397 ITR 673 (Delhi) and submitted that the AO has failed to satisfy the reasons to believe that the income has escaped assessment as the assessment was reopened on the basis of the subsequent development in case of M/s.

Rasal Builders and Developers Pvt. Ltd. who has shown the loan from the assessee of Rs. 15,80,000/-. The AO disallowed the said amount of Rs. 15,80,000/- while completing the assessment in case of M/s. Rasal Builders and Developers Pvt. Ltd. The matter was carried to this Tribunal by M/s. Rasal Builders and Developers Pvt. Ltd. in ITA No. 1500/JP/2008 and the Tribunal vide order dated 24th April, 2009 set aside the matter to the record of the AO for further examination and verification of correctness of the claim and then to decide the same afresh after affording an opportunity of being heard to the assessee.

Therefore, it is a clear case of forming the opinion on borrowed satisfaction as evident from the letter dated 23rd September, 2011 as well as the reasons recorded by the AO. We further note that the AO in the assessment proceedings of M/s. Rasal Builders and Developers Pvt. Ltd. disallowed the claim of loan of Rs. 15,80,000/- taken from the assessee on the reason that the total sale of the assessee for the last two years was Rs. 11,51,805/- only and, therefore, the AO did not accept the claim of loan for want of the source of the said credit in the hands of the assessee.

Therefore, when the same AO repeated the addition of cash credit in the set aside proceedings in case of M/s. Rasal Builders and Developers Pvt. Ltd. vide order dated 06.12.2010, the reopening after the order of ld. CIT (A) is nothing but based on the satisfaction of the ld. CIT (A). Therefore, the AO reaffirming its stand in the case of M/s. Rasal Builders and Developers Pvt. Ltd. in two rounds of proceedings cannot be allowed to resort to provisions of section 148 of the Act when his stand was reversed by the ld.
