v.

S. Kalaivani

Law:

Section:

Section 69 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 - Unexplained investments In absence of any concrete material evidence in possession of Assessing officer, which could have reflected value of property-in-question value adopted by Assessing Officer based on D.V.O's report was bad, in law, and could not be accepted [A.Y 1996-97] The Tribunal deleted the addition towards an unexplained investment in the construction of a commercial complex.
