Dcit, Central Circle-2(1), Chennai vs Shri Rajagopal Kamaraj, Thiruvarur on 10 April, 2024
432) wherein it was held that when a diary is seized in search of the
premises of a third patty allegedly containing entries of hundi
transactions on behalf of various parties including the assessee, no
addition could be made based on the said entries since the diary was
neither found from the premises of assessee nor was it in handwriting of
assessee and revenue failed to produce any other cogent material to link
the assessee to the diary. The ratio of the said decision was held to be
squarely applicable to the case of the assessee since Ld. AO had not
referred to any cogent material to corroborate the entries made in the
material seized from a third-party which are purportedly the transactions
made by the said third-party with the assessee. Similar analogous ration
as laid down in various other decisions which have been enumerated in
preceding paras 7.11 of this order. We concur with the same.
