Apart from the above grounds of appeal, the assessee has taken the following additional ground:- On the facts and circumstances of the case, the impugned assessment framed u/s 153 A deserves to be quashed as assessment for A/Y 2007-08 framed u/s 153A was not valid and void abinitio . 4. The assessee vide ground No.1 has agitated the action of the CIT(A) in upholding the action of the Assessing Officer in making addition of ₹ 1 lac claimed to have been received by the assessee from one Shri Nusrat Ikram Khan Nusrat Ikram Khan Bagga as advance against sale of shop as unexplained cash credit claimed to have been received by sale of shop.
