..... was also gainfully employed. Accordingly, the argument that there were past savings which were pooled in and collected and deposited keeping the purpose for which the assessee was working to achieve the claim has been discarded without any basis except the reasoning that t is very/highly improbable that such a huge amount can would be lying with him idle. Therefore, the assessee's contention is not acceptable . Keeping in view the purpose for which the assessee was working hard, the claim was justified on facts. Accordingly, the respective orders are set aside and Page addition is directed to be deleted. Said order was pronounced in the Open Court at the time of hearing itself. Appeal of the assessee is allowed. - ITA No. 95/CHD/2022 - - - Dated:- 5-9-2022 - Smt.

..... rnment. The Government exists and functions for its citizens. The citizens are taxpayers as well as the marginalized hardworking toiling masses engaged in building a fulfilling life for themselves. Thus, the arbitrary order where without giving notice the explanation appended in the Memo of Appeals was not going to be accepted cannot be upheld. The assessee's appeal has been thrown out noticing that before the Assessing Officer as well as the First Appellate Authority the assessee was represented by a counsel and appeal was filed by a C.A. Such a biased reasoning in a case like the present case reeking of prejudices cannot be upheld. The facts on record cannot be allowed to remain ignored.

Arbitrary and unfair actions by the Authorities can have serious consequences wherein the marginalized may consider themselves alienated from the system. Such an outcome .....

There are sections of Society who choose to involve every family member in industriously working and to simultaneously studying to ensure a proper and a decent livelihood for the next generation. To my mind, this spirit of the rising India should not be crushed by a mechanical effort of looking for evidences in 2022 for an activity which culminated in rejection of visa application of assessee's daughter on 15th July, 2010. As per record, the assessee has explained the deposits stating that these were made to meet study visa requirement on the basis of New FDR made on 15.04.2010, we have opened Overdraft Account no.. 65082236095 with same Bank on 16.04.2010 for Rs. 6,3 .....
