Common Cause (A Regd. Society) vs Union Of India on 9 March, 2018
43. We have given thoughtful consideration to the observations of the
CIT(A) based on which he had vacated the addition of Rs. 1286.23 lakhs
(supra) relating to the aforementioned 8 entries. In our view, as the AO
had in his second "remand report" admitted that the 8 entries mentioning
the nick name of the Director of the assessee company and his brother
could not be found in the Tally Data and the books of accounts of the
assessee company, therefore, as observed by the CIT(A), and rightly so,
there could not have been any justification for the AO after conceding to
the aforesaid factual position to have sustained the addition with respect
to the aforementioned 8 entries. Also, we concur with the CIT(A) that as
the AO had conceded in his "remand report" that the entries bearing nick

names of the Director of the assessee company and his brother could
not be traced in the Tally Data/books of account of the assessee
company, therefore, it is nothing short of admission by the AO that no
corresponding bogus expenses were booked by the assessee company
during the year under consideration. We thus, in terms of our aforesaid
observations are persuaded to subscribe to the view taken by the CIT(A)
that as the AO had no evidence before him which could reveal that the
assessee company had booked any bogus expenditure during the year
under consideration, therefore, there was no justification for him to make
any addition/disallowance based on the unsubstantiated entries in the
seized loose sheets, viz., Annexure A-1/Pages 01-02. Our aforesaid
view is supported by the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the
case of Common Cause (Registered Society) Vs. Union of India
(2017) 394 ITR 220 (SC), wherein it is held that loose sheets and random
notings without corroborative evidence lack evidentiary value.

requires looking no further beyond the facts available on record,
therefore, we have no hesitation in admitting the same. Our aforesaid
view is fortified by the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the
case of National Thermal Power Company Ltd. Vs. CIT (1998) 229
ITR 383 (SC).

aforesaid view is supported by the judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme
Court in Lalchand Bhagat Ambica Ram Vs. CIT (1959) 37 ITR 288
(SC) and Umacharan Shaw & Bros. Vs. CIT (1959) 37 ITR 271 (SC).
We thus, in the backdrop of our aforesaid observations, are of a firm
conviction that as both the lower authorities had merely acted upon the
noting/scribbling in the seized loose sheet, and had failed to bring any
material on record which would conclusively reveal that the assessee
company had booked bogus expenses towards the purchase of fuel from
the aforesaid party and had received the amount as mentioned in the
noting/scribbling in the seized loose sheet, therefore, are unable to
concur with the CIT(A) who had upheld the impugned unsubstantiated
addition made by the AO only for the reason that there was a similarity
in the names of the parties mentioned in the seized loose sheet and the
tally data and the assessee company prior to the date mentioned in the
seized loose sheet had made a payment to the aforesaid party on
02.04.2019 and, thus, set aside his order and direct the AO to delete the
addition of Rs. 20 lacs. The Ground of appeal No. 2 raised by the
assessee company is allowed.
Dy. Commissioner Of Income Tax , Central ... vs Uppala Pradeep Kumar , Hyderabad on 3 March, 2021
48. Coming to the facts of the present case, we find that it is the claim
of the revenue that they had during the course of the search proceedings
conducted on the assessee company seized certain loose sheets, viz.,
Annexure A-1/Pages 01-02, which revealed that certain expenses that
40

R.K. INFRACORP PRIVATE LIMITED
were debited by the assessee company and claimed as a deduction
either during the year under consideration or in the immediately
preceding year were received back in cash from the concerned parties.
However, we concur with the CIT(A) that as during the course of the
search proceedings, no corroborative evidence based on the notings of
the seized loose sheets, viz. Annexure A-1/Pages 01-02 was found
which would reveal that the assessee company was the owner of any
unaccounted cash, unaccounted jewellery, unaccounted assets etc.,
therefore, the basic pre-condition for invoking the provisions of section
69A of the Act, i.e., ownership of money or bullion, jewellery or valuable
articles, not recorded in the books of recorded in the books of accounts
and failure to satisfactorily explain the nature and source of the same is
in itself not met out, as a result whereof the provisions of section 69A of
the Act could not have been invoked by the AO. Our aforesaid view that
the first condition for applying the provisions of Section 69A is that the
assessee should be found to be the owner of any money, bullion,
jewellery or other valuable article and, secondly, the same should not be
found recorded in the books of account of the assessee, if any,
maintained by him is supported by the judgment of the Hon'ble High
Court of Punjab & Haryana in CIT Vs. Ravi Kumar (2008) 168
Taxman 150 (P&H). In the case before them, the Hon'ble High Court
41

observed that based on the loose slips found in the course of he search
proceedings from the assessee the addition was made under Section
69A of the Act. The Hon'ble High Court observed that the assessee
before them was found in possession of loose slips and not of any
valuable article or thing. Also, it was further observed that neither the
possession nor the ownership of any jewellery mentioned in the slips
could be proved. The High Court, based on the aforesaid facts, upheld
the view taken by the Tribunal that the provisions of Section 69A of the
Act could not have been applied.

Also, we find that a similar view had
earlier been taken by the Hon'ble High Court of Calcutta in the case
