Still aggrieved by the order of the learned CIT(A), the assessee has preferred this appeal before the Tribunal. 7. I have heard the arguments of both the sides and also perused the relevant material available on record. The main contention raised by the learned Counsel for the assessee is that the opening cash balance of Rs. 15,09,453/- was duly supported by two cash withdrawals of Rs. 9,00,000/- and Rs. 4,50,000/- made by the assessee from his bank account with Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd and Bank of Baroda respectively. He has contended that the learned CIT(A), however, accepted only the cash withdrawal of Rs. 4,50,000/- made by the assessee from Bank of Baroda but did not accept other cash withdrawal of Rs. 9,00,000/- made by the assessee from Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. He has invited our attention to the cash book of the assessee for FY 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 placed at page Nos. 1 to 7 of the paper-book to show that the cash of Rs. 9 .....
