40. We are unable to comprehend that as to how the aforesaid order of the
ITAT, Indore would assist the case of the assessee company before us. It is not
the existence of the assessee company before us which is in question, but it is
the authenticity of its claim of having raised genuine amount of share application
money from 41 shares applicant/subscriber companies which is the issue for
which our indulgence has been sought. Considering the fact that the addition in
the case of the assesse company had been made by the A.O u/s.68 of the Act,
for the reason that it had failed to discharge the onus that was cast upon it as
regards proving the authenticity of its claim of having received genuine amount
of share application money from the aforementioned investor companies,
therefore, reliance placed on the aforesaid order of the ITAT, Indore in the case
of ACIT Vs. Shri Pramod Kumar Sethi (supra), being not relevant to the issue

in question before us, would by no means come to the rescue of the assessee
