But because of the search in case of Mr. Modi and Annexure -1 found therein, the addition was made in the present case. The entire basis for making the additions to the assessable income of the Assessee was a single document i.e., Annexure A-1.

In the present case, no reason was assigned by the Assessing Officer or any fresh material was taken into account by the Assessing Officer for reopening the assessment u/s 147 of the Act. The said action of the Revenue was challenged before the Hon ble High Court and the Hon ble High Court has given a finding of dismissing the appeal of the Revenue therein. The finding of the Hon ble High Court is applicable in the present case and therefore, the action u/s 147 of the Act itself is not maintainable and is quashed. Thus, appeal of the Revenue is dismissed and cross .....
