[2018] 89 taxmann.com 1 (Gujarat) Ongoing through the facts of the case, the appellant's conclusion that the additions have been made without any incriminating material found during the course of search related to this assessment year, is found factually correct. Therefore, keeping in view the above mentioned binding judgments, the additions made by the AO are deleted. This ground of appeal is allowed. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 7.1 The appellant's arguments are in two fold.

..... her conditions, one of the condition for initiating the proceedings under section 153C of the Act is that the documents found from the premises of the searched person but belonging to the other person, must have the bearing on the total income of the other person. 10.1 In the case on hand, we find that an excel sheet was found as a result of search containing the details of cash receipt and payment for the period from 2 April 2010 to 26 August 2010. The dates mention in the excel sheet in itself suggest pertaining to the financial 2010-11 corresponding to assessment year 2011-12. In other words, these documents, without going into the fact whether these represent incriminating materials or not, do not pertain to the year under consideration. Therefore, no inference can be drawn that the assessee has deposited unaccounted cash in its bank accounts without their being any adverse material on record pertaining to the year under consideration. 10.2 Likewise, there was no document found of incriminating nature with respect to the unsecured loan of ₹ 44,95,000.00 received by the assessee in the year under consideration indicating that the same represents as unexplained ca .....

Coming to the CO raised by the assessee bearing No. 161/AHD/2019 (IT(SS)A No.164/Ahd/2019) for the assessment year 2009-10. 12. At the outset we note that the additions made by the AO have been deleted by us in the preceding paragraph bearing number 10 on the reasoning that there was no incriminating document found during the search qua the deposit of cash and unsecured loan received by the assessee. Therefore, in the absence of any incriminating document, no addition is warranted in the assessment framed under section 153C of the Act. For detailed discussion, please refer the relevant paragraph. Accordingly, we do not find any reason to adjudicate the issue raised by the assessee in its CO. As such the CO filed by the assessee becomes infructuous and does not require any separate adjudication. Accordingly we dismiss the same. 12.1 In the result, the CO filed by the assessee is dismissed. 13. In the combined results, the appeal filed by the Revenue is dismissed and the cross objection filed by the assessee is also dismissed as infructuous.
