The appellant/assessee having proved the identity and credit worthiness of the party as well as the genuineness of the transaction had discharged its burden and it was for the revenue to conduct an enquiry and to prove that the transaction in question was not genuine and the identity of the creditor was not established and it had no credit worthiness.
