Recently, in Samta Khinda vs. ACIT, the Appellate Tribunal decided on 29/11/2016, some of the grounds raised were that the CIT (A) had grossly erred in law and on the facts of the case in confirming the addition of Rs. 96 lacs in the hands of the assessee as unaccounted income from undisclosed sources in terms of Sec 69/698/69C of the Income Tax Act, 1961(herein referred to as ‘the Act’) where there was no corroborating evidence of the figure of Rs 96 lacs mentioned on the loose paper and in applying Section 292C of the Act merely because some papers were found from the premises of the assessee while ignoring vital facts and contentions of the assessee and in confirming the addition of Rs 5.67 lacs in the hands of the assessee as unexplained jewellery under section 69B of the Act.
