THIS INCOME TAX APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/09/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR & V.K.MOHANAN, JJ. .................................................................... I.T. Appeal No.1615 of 2009 .................................................................... Dated this the 22nd day of September, 2009. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. Questions raised in the appeal filed by the department relate to various additions made in the assessment of the assessee for the assessment year 1996-97. The assessee's explanation was accepted in regard to credits shown in the account and unexplained investment in hospital building. The substantial amount involved is Rs.21 lakhs which is the difference between the value of the hospital building constructed and the cost accounted by the assessee. However, the Tribunal noticed that valuation taken was as 30.4.1998 as against the accounts seen recorded as on 31.3.1996. The Tribunal accepted the explanation that investment made subsequent to 31.3.1996 accounts for the differential amount of Rs.21 lakhs. It is open to the department to issue notice to the assessee, if there is any justification for addition on account of this for subsequent years. We do not find any justification to interfere with the order of the Tribunal, particularly when all the 2 issues raised pertain to finding of facts recorded by the Tribunal based on evidence. Appeal is accordingly dismissed. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge V.K.MOHANAN Judge pms
