 (common order)

 For the assessment year 2001-02, the assessee filed its return of income 
 declaring income of `  1,95,760/-.  We may mention that in the said assessment 
 year, search and seizure operations were carried out on the premises of the 
 assessee under Section 132 of the Act.  The Assessing Officer observed that the 
 assessee had shown  his income in the form of receipt  of commission against 
 property specified by it.  He also found that various bank deposits were made. 
 The Assessing Officer treated those bank deposits, in the sum of Rs. 1.13 crores 
 as  sale proceeds of the properties which according to the Assessing Officer 
 were not offered for taxation.  The assessee duly explained  all these deposits 
 before the CIT (A), as a result,  CIT (A) partly accepted the appeal  and 
 restrict  the addition to the extent of  ` 12.57 lacs, thus the addition of 1.13 
 crores to 12.57 lacs.  This order is confirmed by the ITAT in the following 
 manner:- 
 ?10. We have considered the rival submission and perused the material on record. 
 In the present case, the AO has issued notice to the assessee on 10.07.2007 
 asking the assessee to submit the return in prescribed form for the AY 2001-02. 
 The return was filed by the assessee on 26.07.2007.  As per letter dated 
.
.
 14.9.2007, the AO asked the assessee to furnish certain details which were filed 
 by the assessee on 20.12.2007 as noted by the AO in para. 4 of the assessment 
 order.  Thereafter the AO again asked the assessee to furnish more details vide 
 order sheet entry dated 20.12.2007 and, thereafter, the assessment order was 
 passed by the AO on 28.12.2007.  These facts show that there was paucity of time 
 because even after completion of the search on  22.9.2005, notice u/s 153A was 
 issued on 10.07.2007 and first questionnaire u/s 142(1) was issued on 
 14.09.2007. First reply was stated to be filed by the assessee on 20.12.2007, 
 but there is no mention in the assessment order as to whether any more reminders 
 were issued by the AO during the intervening period.  These facts clearly show 
 that there was paucity of time for the assessee to furnish the details required 
 by the AO on 20.12.2007 because  the assessment was getting time barred on 
 31.12.2007.  In view of these facts, we are of the considered opinion  that 
 additional evidences were rightly admitted by the CIT (A) and we confirm  the 
 same because the CIT (A) had duly confronted those evidences to the AO and 
 obtained remand report. 
 11.       Regarding the merit of additions deleted by the CIT (A), we find that 
 the same has been done by the CIT (A) on the basis of remand report of the AO. 
 In para 9 of his order, it is stated by the CIT (A) that in the remand report, 
 the AO himself has submitted that no addition is called for to the extent of ` 
 4537967 and to that extent addition was deleted by the CIT (A) on the basis of 
 this remand report of the AO.  Out of balance amount of ` 6840722/-, a clear 
 finding is given by the CIT (A) that on the basis of statement of affairs of the 
 present year and preceding year, the amount of deficit is ` 1257050/- for which 
 addition was upheld by him.  He deleted the balance addition.  Considering all 
 these facts, we do not find any reason to interfere in the order of the CIT (A) 
 regarding the additions deleted by him because the same has been done by him on 
 the basis of remand report submitted by the AO and no specific defect could be 
 pointed out by the Ld. DR of the Revenue on this aspect in the order of the CIT 
 (A).  We, therefore, confirm the order of the CIT (A) on both these aspects.? 
 We do not find any question of law which arises for consideration The 
 appeal is accordingly dismissed.
