      Assessee by :        Smt. Veena Joshi, CIT DR
      Department by:       Shri Ashwani Taneja, and Shri Rohan Khare, Adv.

                                  ORDER

PER U B S BEDI, JUDICIAL MEMBER:


      These 15 matters comprise of 7 appeals of the department and equal
number of cross objections of the assessee against separate orders passed by
Ld. CIT(A) III dated 31.08.2010 for the assessment years 2000-01, 2001-02,
                             I.T.A. Nos. 4884,4885,4886,4887,5416,5417,5418
                                         2                                   /DEL/2010
                                            C.O. Nos.370,371,372,372,47,48,49/Del/2011
                                                                 I.T.A. No. 15/Del/2011
2002-03 and 2004-05, and dated 08.09.2010 for assessment year 2003-04,
2005-06 & 2006-07 respectively along with another appeal of the assessee
against the order of CIT(A) XIII, New Delhi dated 16.11.2011 relevant to
assessment year 2007-08.
2.    Since, these mattes were heard together and involve some common
issues, therefore, are being disposed off by a single order for the sake of
convenience.
3. So far as the appeal of the department and cross objection of the assessee are concerned for assessment year 2000-01to 2006-07, it was, at the very outset, submitted by the Ld. counsel for the assessee that appeals of the department are mainly relatable to deletion of additions made u/s 68 and part disallowance made by the A.O. on account of making charges paid to karigars in different amounts besides challenge with regard to admission of additional evidence under Rule 46A of the Act whereas, in the cross objections of the assessee, besides confirmation of disallowance of the amounts of remuneration paid to Mrs. Mukta Chaudhary in these years, there is another challenge with regard to part confirmation of various disallowances. It was submitted that so far as deletion of addition under section 68 and addition on account of 50% of making charges is concerned, these amounts have been deleted by Ld. CIT(A) on the basis of second remand report obtained after admission of additional evidence in which the A.O. has duly admitted the claim of the assessee. So, the appeals of the revenue are not maintainable, which may be dismissed. 4. As regards cross objections of the assessee are concerned, Ld. counsel for the assessee submitted that except challenging the confirmation of remuneration paid to Mrs. Mukta Chaudhary in all these years, the assessee does not want to press confirmation of various other different disallowances in the cross objections. With respect to effective ground, it was submitted I.T.A. Nos. 4884,4885,4886,4887,5416,5417,5418 3 /DEL/2010 C.O. Nos.370,371,372,372,47,48,49/Del/2011 I.T.A. No. 15/Del/2011 that firstly, addition has been made on the basis of statement recorded at the time of search when no opportunity to cross examination was given to the assessee and secondly, in assessment year 2009-10, where the assessment was framed u/s 143(3) and such disallowance was made but deleted by Ld. CIT(A) and by filing copy of the order of Ld. CIT(A), it was pleaded that either the addition should be deleted or the matter should be restored back to the file of the A.O. for reconsideration of the issue afresh as appropriate opportunity has not been granted to the assessee by the A.O. in this regard. 5. Ld. D.R. has been heard who relied upon the order of the A.O. and pleaded for setting aside the order of Ld. CIT(A) and to restore that of the A.O. It was pointed out that when all the additions have been made after considering the second remand report of the A.O. who has duly communicated about the genuineness of the transaction for which the Department should not have any objection, on which she did not give any appropriate reply. 6. After hearing both the sides, considering the material on record, we find that in this case, search was conducted in the case of the assessee on 20.01.2006 when certain incriminating documents were seized. Subsequently, notice u/s 153A of the I. T. Act, 1961 were issued requiring the assessee to furnish the return of income for the current year as well as last six years which was duly filed and after due notice o the assessee and considering the reply, assessments were framed and certain additions were made against which the assessee preferred appeals and Ld. CIT(A) gave certain relief, against which, Department has come up in appeals and against the additions sustained, assessee has filed cross objections. But at the time of hearing of this matter, the assessee except contesting confirmation of the additions of the amount of remuneration paid to Mrs. Mukta Chaudhary, ground in relation to all other additions were not pressed and against the I.T.A. Nos. 4884,4885,4886,4887,5416,5417,5418 4 /DEL/2010 C.O. Nos.370,371,372,372,47,48,49/Del/2011 I.T.A. No. 15/Del/2011 confirmation of addition on account of remuneration paid to Mrs. Mukta Chaudhary for all these years, the Ld. A.R. of the assessee contended that neither appropriate opportunity has been given nor cross examination of Mrs. Mukta Chaudhary has been granted when additions have been made considering the statement of Mrs. Mukta Chaudhary. It was contended for deletion of addition for all these years in this regard or the matters should be restored back to the file of the A.O. for redeciding the same afresh. 6.1 We, after having considered the facts, circumstances of the case and material on record, find it just and appropriate to uphold the order of Ld. CIT(A) with respect to the additions made and to the extent sustained by the Ld. CIT(A) on the basis of second remand report in which the A.O. has agreed with the material submitted by the assessee to the Ld. CIT(A), which were sent to the A.O. So, the appeals of the department are dismissed. 6.2 So far as cross objections of the assessee are concerned, considering the rival submissions, we find it just and appropriate to set aside the orders of authorities below in respect to additions made on account of remuneration paid to Mrs. Mukta Chaudhary and confirmed by Ld. CIT(A) and restore the issue to the file of the A.O. for reconsideration of the same afresh after giving due opportunity of being heard to the assessee. We hold and direct accordingly.
6.3 As a result, all the appeals of the revenue are dismissed whereas, cross objections of the assessee are partly allowed for statistical purpose. 7. As regards the appeal of the assessee for the assessment year 2007-08 is concerned, challenge is with regard to confirmation of the order of the A.O. in disallowing sum of Rs.2.40 lacs on account of remuneration paid to Smt. Mukta Chaudhary, partner of the assessee firm and challenge is also about charging of interest u/s 234A and 234B. Since the first issue is similar to the issue in cross objections allowed by us, in earlier part of this order I.T.A. Nos. 4884,4885,4886,4887,5416,5417,5418 5 /DEL/2010 C.O. Nos.370,371,372,372,47,48,49/Del/2011 I.T.A. No. 15/Del/2011 while disposing off the appeals of the department and cross objections of the assessee, so adopting the same basis and reasoning, we set aside the orders of authorities below on this issue and restore the matter back to the file of the A.O. for redeciding the issue afresh as per directions given in the group cases above. As regards the issue in relation to confirmation of charging of interest u/s 2343A and 234B is concerned, the same is mandatory and consequential and the A.O. will consider the same while passing the order with regard to the issue restored back to his file and determine the same accordingly being mandatory and consequential. 7.1 As a result, appeal of the assessee for the assessment year 2007-08 the same is allowed partly for statistical purposes. 8. As a result, appeals of the department for all the years are dismissed whereas, the cross objections of the assessee are treated to have been allowed partly for statistical purpose. The appeal of the assessee for the assessment year 2007-08 is allowed partly for statistical purpose. 9. Order pronounced in the open court on 01.11.2013. Sd./- Sd./- (G.D.
