CIT v. Sree Ganesh Trading Co. (2019) 413 ITR 61/ 181 DTR 261/ 311 CTR 621 (Ker.)(HC)

S.68: Cash credits-Firm-Partner-First year of business-Credible materials produced by partners–Addition cannot be made in the assessment of firm.

Dismissing the appeal of the revenue, the Court  held that, the partners of the assessee had been able to show the persons from whom they had received credits. The three partners had also produced credible materials to show their sources for the specific advances made to the firm. If the sources of the creditors were doubted, there could be an assessment made only on them and not on the assessee, whose partners had proved the identity and creditworthiness of their creditors.
