At the time of hearing, submitted that the addition of Rs. 30,25,834/- made by the AO is based on surmises, as the same was made without considering the documents and evidences furnished by the assessee during the assessment proceedings regarding issuance of same PAN No. to another Aditya Gupta HUF, residing at Mumbai, Maharashtara, to whom the said income relates.

AR for the assessee in preceding para of this order, and then decide the issues in dispute, afresh, in accordance with law, after giving adequate opportunity of being heard to the assessee, for which Ld.
