M/S Oriental Power Cables Ltd., Kota vs Deputy Commissioner Of Income Tax, ... on 12 February, 2019
6.11 Further, power to call for information/production of evidences or
enforcing attendance under the law is given to the income tax authorities
only and therefore, in view of the judgment CIT v/s Victor Electrodes Ltd.
[2010] 329 ITR 271, the Appellant cannot be fastened upon the burden to
produce the lenders before the assessing authorities though in the instance
case, appellant has cooperated in assessment by showing his willingness to
produce the directors of lender companies and some directors/officer were
also produced before the AO. Thus, in view of the judicial precedents
referred above, under the facts and circumstances of the present case it is
untenable to make any addition for alleged non-appearance by the
concerned person before the authorities though they complied with the
notices/summon issued to them.
