But, it appears that the books are not closed and profit not ascertained. On 11th September, 1974 the assessee s business premises were surveyed by the department. It was on survey that the department found two sets of accounts being maintained. On the date of survey the departmental officials found on the premises of M/s. Ashok Bhagar Mills, wherein the processing of goods are done, there were 335 quintals of Warai and 103 quintals of Bhagar. 3. Following the survey by the department, the assessee decided not to keep two separate sets. From that date onwards, all the transactions were brought into the first set of accounts. However, it would appear that this required certain adjustm .....

This was added. On appeal, the CIT(A) confirmed the addition. 6. Shri Inamdar appearing for the assessee submitted that the addition is unwarranted. He pointed out that the ITO had accepted that adjustments to the stock in the regular books have to be made. Once it is accepted that adjustments have to be made, it means that the purchases and sales reflected are not correct and therefore, the yield should not be judged by bifurcating the two periods artificially. He submitted that even in normal circumstances in a case where there is continuous business activity, it would be fallacious to break the pe .....

The letter goes on further to say that if the last purchase of 400 quintals of Warai is excluded, the yield would be much more. 9. Now there is evidence which had been accepted by the ITO himself that certain purchases made in the subsequent period actually relates to the first period and the goods having been received earlier, the ITO himself accepts that 355 quintals relate to this. But he also found another figure of the same amount i.e. 355 quintals which were found to be the stock at the Ashok Bhagar Mills. As we understand the stock of both sets of accounts would be found in this mill. When 355 quintals of Warai are recorded there, it could conceivably include the stock of both sets of accounts.
