Heard both the parties. Case file perused. Assessee by Shri Sarvesh Kandelwal Revenue by Shri Sourabh Nayak, Addl.CIT Date of hearing 21-05-2024 Date of pronouncement 27-05-2024 ITA No.486/PUN/2024 Shashikant Ramswaroop Chamadia 2 2. The assessee pleads the following substantive grounds in the instant appeal. 1. On facts and circumstances prevailing in the case and as per provisions & scheme of the Act it be held that the disallowance made of Rs.54,05,948/- which are deductible expenses as per the provisions of Section 57 is not in accordance with the provision of the Act. The addition so made be deleted. 2. On facts and circumstances prevailing in the case and as per provisions & scheme of the Act it be held that the commissioner of income tax was not justified in dismissing the appeal of the assessee without considering the facts prevailing in the case and materials available on record. Just and Proper relief be granted to the assessee. 3. Coming to the assessee‟s sole and substantive grievance pleaded in the instant appeal that both the learned lower authorities have erred in law and on facts in not granting section 57(iii) deduction regarding his income from other sources vis-a-vis the corresponding expenditure wholly and exclusively “laid out for the purpose of making or earning” the same, Mr. Nayak vehemently argued that no such details had been filed either during the course of assessment or in the lower appellate proceedings; as the case may be. 4. The assessee on the other hand has filed his paper book running into 173 pages before us. Mr. Khandelwal submits in light ITA No.486/PUN/2024 Shashikant Ramswaroop Chamadia 3 of index attached with the paper book that the assessee had duly filed his application seeking admission of additional evidence under rule 46A of the Income Tax Rules dated 23.11.2023 before the learned CIT(A) which has neither been considered. Faced with the situation, we deem it appropriate in the larger interest of justice to restore the assessee‟s instant sole substantive grievance back to the learned CIT(A) for his afresh appropriate adjudication as per law, preferably within three effective hearings, subject to a rider that it shall be the taxpayer‟s risk and responsibility only to plead and prove all the relevant facts in consequential proceedings. 5. This assessee‟s appeal is allowed for statistical purposes in above terms. Order pronounced in the Open Court on 27 th May, 2024. Sd/- Sd/- (G.D. PADMAHSHALI) (S.S.
