1. These two appeals, one by assessee and the other by Revenue, emanate from common order of CIT(A), dt. 19th Dec., 1997, for the asst. yr.1994-95. The issues involved in these appeals are common and hence these are clubbed together, heard together and disposed of by this common consolidated order for the sake of convenience. (i) The assessment order is time-barred assessment as the special audit ordered by the AO is to buy time to complete the assessment. (ii) The denying exemption of under Section 10(22) of the IT Act, 1961, is unwarranted. (iii) Addition to trust income on account of credits in the accounts of the trustees to the tune of Rs. 95,02,436 without establishing that the fund of trust was actually transferred from the trust.
