..... of the assessee that the assessee had interest free funds. CIT(A) decided the case against the assessee based on its own personal opinion without any material available on record thus the finding rendered by the CIT(A) is perverse. This perverse finding affirmed by the Tribunal was without any material placed before it to come to a conclusion that the role played by the assessee's husband as a miller is virtually insignificant.

Aggrieved by the order dated 08.04.2005 passed by the CIT(A), the assessee preferred an appeal before the Tribunal contending that assessee by using all the manufacturing facilities established by her husband, derived commercial advantage in the shape of timely delivery of processed dhall, high quality processing and discount on processing charges as compared to market prize and that the assessee's husband offered his own property valued more .....

Unfortunately, the CIT(A) and the Tribunal lost sight of the legal submission made by the assessee. In the case of CIT Vs. Kandagiri Spinning Mills Ltd. [reported in (2008) 298 ITR 306], a Division Bench of this Court held that amounts given by the assessee to its sister concern from the profits earned by it during the relevant assessment years and not by diverting the funds borrowed from the financial institutions and banks, interest paid on borrowed capital cannot be disallowed more so as the amounts were advanced by .....

There is no room for the authority to incorporate their personal opinion while completing the assessment, which precisely was done by the CIT(A) and therefore, has to necessarily held to be perverse and unsustainable. In fact, the assessee's husband stood as a guarantor to the assessee for obtaining cash credit facility was not disbelieved.
