Commissioner Of Income Tax vs Mahendra N. Shah on 20 October, 2005

As such the doubt of the revenue is this that the proprietor of M/s Brij Mohan Jewellers namely Shri Sandeep Gupta in the statement has stated that the fine gold weighing 949.18 grams was sold to the assessee dated 26 October 2017 which was personally handed over to the assessee whereas as per the assessee the gold was couriered to him (the assesse).

As such there was mismatch in the statement furnished by Shri Sandeep Gupta and the submission made by the assessee and further the fact that seized gold was in transit with courier service from 24 October 2017.

In the result the addition was made in the hands of the assessee on protective basis viz a viz the additions in the hands of the Sandeep Gupta (M/s Brij Mohan Jewellers) on substantive basis. Admittedly, the facts brought on record by the AO are crucial but we note that such mismatch was never confronted to the assessee for his rebuttal.
