Bot Summary: The High Court has dismissed the appeal filed under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act,1961 on the ground that no substantial question of law arises. The Department has failed to bring on record any material to the contrary except the seized documents which, in our considered opinion, could not absolve the Department or give any right to negate the view taken by the first Appellate Authority and the Tribunal. So far as the income divided among the family members of the respondent-assessee is concerned, we find that all of them were carrying on same business from the same premises. It is but natural that if any concealed income has been found at the time of search and survey, it has to be distributed among all the family members who were carrying on business. In this view of the matter, the impugned order of the High Court does not call for any interference. Pending application, if any, also stands disposed of. UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following ORDER The appeal is dismissed in terms of the signed order.
