  1. The captioned appeal by assessee for Assessment Year [AY] 2010- 11 assails the order of Ld. Commissioner of Income tax (Appeal)-25, [CIT(A)], Mumbai dated 01/11/2016 by raising five grounds of appeal. Ground No. 5 is general in nature. Ground No. 1 & 3 has not been pressed by Ld. Counsel for the assessee during proceedings before us and hence the same are being dismissed as ''not pressed''. Now, we proceed to dispose-off Ground No. 2 & 4 which are related with confirmation of certain cash credit of Rs.71,05,742/- and direction by Ld. CIT(A) to initiate penalty proceedings.
