Bot Summary: For Appellant/Petitioner : Mrs.A.G.Gutgutia,Advocate For Respondent : Mr. R.Bharadwaj, Advocate Mr.Bhaskar Sengupta,Advocate The Court : The Assessing Officer came to the following findings : In connection it may be pointed out that by collecting so many bills, licenses, telephone, registration from various authorities, the operation of manufacturing and existence of the firm cannot be proved.

The department preferred an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal which has affirmed the views expressed by the Appellate Authority. Mrs.Gutgutia, learned advocate appearing for the revenue submitted that the views expressed by the Assessing Officer quoted above were justified and therefore, the Appellate Authority erred in taking a different view on the basis of the evidence.

The Assessing Officer was of the opinion that these pieces of evidence were not enough but the Appellate Authority was of the opinion that these pieces of evidences were enough to prove the existence of the business. The Tribunal has evidently concurred with the views of the Appellate Authority.
