DR. Therefore, the adoption of rate by ld. CIT(A) for ground and first floor of ₹ 30,042/- per sq. mt. is confirmed.

..... no incriminating material found during the course of search and seizure operation in the hands of assessee for AY 2004-05. Hence, respectfully following the ratio of the decision rendered by Hon ble Jurisdiction High Court of Gujarat in various cases including judgment in the case of Soumya Construction (supra), therefore, we hold that the AO is not entitled and empowered to make any addition in the assessment order framed u/s. 153A r/w s. 143(3) of the Act for AY 2004-05 in absence of any incriminating material therefore, the addition made by the AO and reduced by the ld. CIT(A) is not sustainable and thus, we direct the AO to delete the entire addition made in absence of incriminating material for AY 2004-05. 8. Since, facts and circumstances of AY 2005-06 and 2007-08 are identical and similar to the facts of AY 2004-05 therefore, our conclusion drawn for AY 2004-05 would apply mutatis mutandis to other two years i.e., for AY 2005-06 2007-08. Consequently, additions made by the AO and reduced by the ld. CIT(A) are not sustainable for these two years and we direct the AO to delete the entire addition made in said two years.
