We are of the view that none of the questions of law formulated in the memorandum of the tax appeal could be termed as substantial questions of law. - R/TAX APPEAL NO. 721 of 2019 - - - Dated:- 13-1-2020 - HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE J.B.PARDIWALA And HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE BHARGAV D. KARIA MRS MAUNA M BHATT FOR THE APPELLANT ORDER ( PER : HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE J.B.PARDIWALA ) 1. This tax appeal under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 [for short 'the Act, 1961'] is at the instance of the revenue and is directed against the order dated 24th January 2019 passed by the In .....

Further that we find that the Learned AO acted beyond his jurisdiction by raising doubts regarding the relationship of the assessee and the donor ignoring the statutory provision in this regard as already been highlighted by the assessee before him in his written reply dated 04.02.2015. Without rebutting the submission made by the assessee the order of addition was made by the Learned AO.

Having heard the learned senior counsel appearing for the appellant Revenue and having gone through the materials on record, we take notice of the fact that the tribunal took into consideration the details of the donor, more particularly, the PAN number, capital gain statement, bank statements and the other relevant documents. Upon perusal of the same, the tribunal concurred with the findings recorded by the CIT (Appeals) as regards the genuineness of the transaction. The tribunal, thereafte .....
