We find no reason for not accepting the bills/vouchers for purchases of tyres and accessories as submitted by the assessee before us which was already placed before the ld. CIT(A). The bills and vouchers and relevant documents in support of the claim of the assessee which were though placed before the ld. CIT(A) but was not considered by him and confirmation of addition of Rs. 32,500/- on such account that no case has been made to admit those additional evidence and also on the ground that these evidences were not placed before the ld.

The ld. DR relies upon the orders passed by the authorities below. 8. We have heard the ld. Representative of the parties and perused the relevant materials available on record. We find substance in the arguments advanced by the ld. AR. According to the assessee since the parties have filed their income tax return within the due period and paid necessary taxes thereon section 40(a)(ia) of the Act will not be applicable in this case. The judgement relied upon in the case of Right Address Ltd vs ITO (TDS) Ward-59(4) is squarely applicable in the present facts and circumstances of the case. .

It reveals that the assessee has acted bona fide and there was no intention on its part to benefit the recipients of interest by way of not deducting tax from the interest so paid to these two parties. It appears that no reason has been assigned by the ld. CIT(A) while declining to apply the judgment of Right Address Ltd. Vs ITO TDS Ward-59(4) in favour of the assessee. He thus failed to distinguish the judgment on fact and on law while disapplying the same. Taking into consideration of the case made out by the assessee, the judgments as well, we allow the ground of appeal preferred by the assessee by deleting the addition of Rs. 1,00,208/- as made by the authorities below.
