Having not done so. he was not justified in disregarding the assessee s contentions that the infusion of monies into its accounts was legitimate.

In view of the above, this Court is of the view that the conclusion of the Tribunal in deleting the additions made cannot be faulted. Accordingly, the Questions of law are answered against the Revenue and in favour of the assessee. The order of the Tribunal is, therefore, affirmed. 14. Resultantly, the appeals are dismissed. 7.3.

Learned Counsel for the Assessee also contended that since addition has been deleted in the hands of Mr. Suresh Nanda on substantive basis, which is confirmed by the Hon ble Delhi High Court, then the findings of the assessing officer which are solely based on the presumption that it was the unaccounted money of Mr. Suresh Nanda routed through the intermediary companies to the assessee company, has no basis to justify the addition. He has further pointed-out that similar addition was made in earlier years, which have been deleted and the assessing officer has admitted that even in earlier years similar investments have been made in assessee-company, which have already been deleted. Therefore, Ld. CIT(A), on proper appreciation of facts and material on record, correctly deleted the addition. 8. We have considered the rival submission and perused the material on record.

It was nobody's case that the nonresident Indian company was a bogus or non-existent company or that the amount subscribed by the company by way of share subscription was in fact the money of the assessee.

These expenses were in the nature of feasibility reports, project reports, travelling transportation, legal charges, printing of memorandum and articles of association and such other expenses relating to the issue of share capital as well. Hence, these expenses have been incurred prior to the commencement of business fall under Section 35D of the Act which permits amortization of such preliminary expenses for a period of five years. Hence, the claim of 20% in the assessment year in question is allowable under Section 35D of the Act. It was submitted that in the assessment order under Section 143(3) dated 28th June, 2006, similar additions have been made. Therefore, doubt addition cannot be made. 18.

In this case, originally, assessment was completed under Section 143(3) and no seized material has been referred to so as to make this addition against the assessee. In this case, protective addition was made in the hands of Shri Suresh Nanda of the same amount. Since in the case of Shri Suresh Nanda, he was held to be non-resident , therefore, no addition can be made in his hands. On the basis of documentary evidences on record and considering various litigation in the case of group in which similar additions have been deleted, therefore, learned CIT(A), on proper appreciating of facts and material on record, correctly deleted the addition.

Learned CIT(A) also deleted similar addition in assessment year 2005-06 and 2006-07. No evidence has been brought on record that share capital brought into C-1 India Pvt.Ltd. belongs to the assessee. The share capital has been invested by three companies namely, Infotech Services Ltd., Y2K Ltd. (Palm Technologies) and Mideast Consortium SA.
