What were the issues?

1. Whether the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal erred in upholding the addition made by the Assessing Officer, which was confirmed by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), regarding undisclosed income of the assessee for the block period 01/04/1985 to 15/09/1995. Assessee's Contention: The assessee, through their senior advocate, likely argued that the additions made were not justified based on the evidence or lack thereof. They would have sought to demonstrate that the income was either disclosed, not attributable to them, or that the additions were excessive. Revenue's Contention: The revenue, represented by its standing counsel, would have contended that the additions were correctly made by the lower authorities and upheld by the Tribunal, based on the findings of undisclosed income during the block period. They would have supported the Tribunal's order.
