But as pointed out by the authorities below it should have been very easy for the appellant to show that these were second sales.

..... e subject-matter before the AAC even in his manner. In this view, the power of enhancement for the Tribunal is even more limited than that of the AAC. It is because the entire assessment is before the AAC while only the appellate order is before this Tribunal.
