It is noted by the Assessing Officer that as per these details, the assessee company has got 2000 pieces of nets fabricated from M/s CD Enterprises. It is further noted by the Assessing Officer that on going through the details of sales and closing stock, it was noticed that neither the above quantity of nets were sold nor they were shown in the list of closing stock as on 31/3/2004. The Assessing Officer asked the assessee to explain the reasons. It is noted by the Assessing Officer that the ld.

As against this submission of the assessee before the ld. CIT(A), we find that the Assessing Officer has made the addition on the basis of quantitative details of fabrication charges. If these nets were not fabricated and only repaired then how this quantity of 2000 nets appeared in the details of fabrication charges. It is not the case of the assessee t .....

It is further noted by the Assessing Officer that on perusal of the copy of ledger account, it is noted that commission has been paid to M/s Vishal Agencies @ 2% on total sales of Rs.213.90 lacs made to RITES Ltd. whereas as per the assessee's letter dated 18/12/2006 vide point No.6, the assessee claimed to have made total sales of Rs.19529628/- to RITES Ltd. during the year under consideration. Because of this, the Assessing Officer has treated the commission payment as bogus and made addition for the same. Being aggrieved, the assessee carried the matter in appeal before the ld. CIT(A).

Both the disallowances have been deleted by the ld. CIT(A) by observing that to deny the claim made for these expenses, the Assessing Officer should have made further enquiries. When the ld. CIT(A) says that the Assessing Officer should have made further enquiries, we find no basis for deleting the disallowance by the ld. CIT(A). This is the claim of the assessee firm that confirmation could not be furnished before the Assessing Officer due to paucity of time. If that is a fact then the confirmation should have been furnished before before the ld. CIT(A) or before us but that was not done. Regarding the discrepa .....

We have considered the rival submissions and we find that in the facts of the present case, the ld.
