It is pertinent to note that the assessee did not express any grievance by challenging the finding of the Ld.CIT(A) in continuing the addition but to a limited extent. In our considered opinion, the finding of the Ld.CIT(A) cannot be challenged by the Revenue keeping in view the settled position of law on this aspect and also in view of the fact that the assessee accepted the same without challenging it by way of appeal or cross-objection.

..... ific adjudication. 3. Adverting to the first ground, it is the argument of the Ld. DR that the AO was right in calculating the disallowance u/s 14A r.w. Rule 8D of the Income Tax Rules, 1962 (in short Rules ) because the assessee was unable to differentiate that investment so made was not from the common pool funds. Per contra, it is the argument of the Ld.

..... 501/- as such the difference of ₹ 36,04,44,499/- was shown by the assessee in his P L A/c. Ld.AO referred the matter to the Department Valuation Officer (in short DVO ) and accepted the valuation of DVO at ₹ 67,09,04,000/- and added the difference of ₹ 11,23,89,000/- to the income of the assessee.
