..... 16 was issued to file the return of income to which assessee opted to treat the return already filed in response to the notice under section 153C of the Act. Notice under section 142(1) were issued for A.Y. 2009-10 to 2014-15 and A.Y. 2015-16 which was duly served upon the assessee but assessee did not furnish complete details. Then the AO sought information under section 133(6) of the Act from Axis Bank and Jammu & Kashmir Bank where the assessee is having accounts. From the analysis of the information provided by the bank, the AO noticed huge number of bank accounts in the assessee's account with Jammu & Kashmir Bank about which the assessee was asked specific question in his statement recorded under section 131 of the Act. 4. From the total deposits made by the assessee in the bank accounts the total year-wise deposits were noticed as under: F.Y. Relevant A, V. Total deposits (RS.) 2010-11 2011-12 12.36.000/- 2011-12 2012-13 52,00,000/- 2012-13 2013-14 1,32,24,000/- 2013-14 2014-15 2,06,21.600/- 2014-15 2015-16 5,91,45,787/- 5.

..... ITA Nos.4584, 4585 & 4586/M/2018 and also relied upon the decision rendered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of CIT vs. Sinhgad Technical Education Society in Civil Appeal Nos.11080 to 11083 of 2017 (2017) 397 ITR 34 (SC) and the decision of Hon'ble High Court of Delhi in case of CIT vs. RRJ Securities Ltd. (2016) 380 ITR 612 (Del) and in case of Pepsico India Holdings (P.) Ltd. vs. ACIT (2014) 50 taxmann.com 299 (Delhi). 11. However, on the other hand, to repel the argument addressed by Ld. A.R. for the assessee the Ld. D.R. for the Revenue relied upon the order passed by the AO and statement of assessee recorded during search and survey proceedings referred to in para 13.2 of the impugned order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) which is substantiated by bank statement; that Ld. CIT(A) has erred in considering the commission income only in order to make/confirm the addition and relied upon the decision rendered by Hon'ble High Court in case of P.R. Metrani Vs. Commissioner of Income Tax (2006) 287 ITR 209 (SC) and the decision of Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in the case of Gargi Din Jwala Prasad vs CIT (1974) 96 ITR 97 (Allahabad HC). 12.

..... on income. 4. One of the grievances raised by the assessee is that original assessment in this case was already completed on the date of initiation of search and hence these additions do not get abated. Hence, it is the plea that de-horse incriminating material found no addition is permissible. I note that addition in A.Y. 2010-11 has been done on account of cash credit u/s. 68 of Rs. 8,00,000/- and commission of Rs. 1,00,275/-. I note that while dealing with the addition the Assessing Officer has mentioned that addition u/s. 68 was done on examination of balance-sheet. Similar is the position of addition of commission income. There is no whisper in the assessment order that any incriminating material was seized in respect of addition which has been done. It is clear that search was conducted on 27.10.2014 and assessment year involved A.Y. 2010-11 was not abated assessment. Hence on the touchstone of Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court decision in the case of Continental Warehousing Corporation (374 ITR 645), no addition was permissible de-horse incriminating material found. Since no incriminating material has been mentioned with respect to addition made, I set aside the order .....
