Therefore, the assumption that the said information pertained to the petitioner is clearly erroneous. It appears that the AO has, based on the image of the Agreement to Sell sent on Whatsapp, assumed the value of one floor of the property and based on this assumption, the AO is seeking to impute that said value in a separate transaction involving the petitioner. The only question to be addressed is, whether any asset, bullion, jewellery, books of account, documents were found during search, which either belonged to the petitioner or contained information perta .....

Ishita Varshney Jain on 14.06.2021, it is confirmed that the seller is the same, i.e., Sh. Dinesh Mahajan. It is evident that, instead of selling the property to Sh. Shashi Chawla, as initially indicated, Sh. Dinesh Mahajan sold the property to Smt. Ishita Varshney Jain. iii.
