Ramachandran Nair,J. Heard standing counsel for the applicant and counsel appearing for the respondent. The question referred to us pertains to addition on account of difference between the cash balance shown in the cash book and in the Balance Sheet. We find that the Tribunal has given a finding that there is cash balance available with the assessee on account of addition made in the assessment for the year 1982-83. According to counsel, since accounts were closed for subsequent years, it could be introduced only for the assessment year 1985-86. Since the tribunal on facts found that the explanation was acceptable, we do not think any question of law arising from the finding of Tribunal on these facts. We therefore answer the question referred against the department and in favour of the assessee. A copy of this judgment shall be forwarded to the Income Tax 2 Appellate Tribunal, Cochin Bench, Cochin. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge. (T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge. kk 3
