..... ince there is no material filed by the assessee before the Tribunal to prove that the assessee had more cash than ₹ 45,000/- as estimated by the AO as on 13-04-2009, find no reason to interfere with the order of Ld.CIT(A), confirming the addition of ₹ 5,50,000/- made during the year. AY.2009-10, the assessee has claimed refund of taxes paid i.e., ₹ 5,95,000/- paid as self-assessment tax and there is a liability of assessee for the AY.2010-11 since the amount has been brought to tax in the AY.2010-11.

..... income for the AY.2010-11 and also that the income admitted by the assessee for the AY.2009-10 is not commensurate with the taxes paid. Therefore, AO re-opened the assessment u/s.147 of the Income Tax Act [Act] and issued a notice u/s.148 of the Act on 14-11-2012. In reply to the same, the assessee filed a letter on 27-11-2012, requesting the AO to treat the return filed on 12-06-2009 as compliance to notice u/s.148 of the Act. 3. During the re-assessment proceedings, the AO observed that the assessee was found with cash of ₹ 5,95,000/- by the police on 13-04-2009 and has remitted the same to the Government Account as self-assessment tax but the income returned by the assessee in the return of income for AY.2009-10 is not commens .....

The learned Commissioner erred in confirming the order u/s.143(3) r.w.s 147 partly, as the addition made with a presumption of escapement of income by issuing notice u/s 148 is deleted, therefore, the other addition of ₹ 4,67,081/ - has no legs to stand. 4. The learned Commissioner erred in confirming the validity of notice u/s 148 as the same is issued with identical reasons for assessment yea .....

..... was reopened has therefore proceeded to consider the return of income filed by the assessee and made the addition of un-explained creditors and therefore, the re-assessment cannot be held to be invalid . It is submitted that once an assessment has been validly re-opened and the addition has been made on the ground on which the assessment was re-opened, the AO was entitled to look into other issues and make any other additions of income, which comes to his notice during the re-assessment proceedings. 6. Having regard to the rival contentions and material on record, I find that the sum of ₹ 5,50,000/- has been brought to tax in the AY.2009-10 on protective basis.
