..... against 4.90% applied by the Assessing Officer. Aggrieved with the order of learned CIT(A), both the parties are in appeal before us. 6. At the time of hearing before us, it was pointed out by the learned counsel that at page 7 of the assessment order, the Assessing Officer has given a comparative position of immediately preceding two years from which, it is evident that the GP rate of AY 2005-06 and 2006-07 was 2.37% and 2.65% respectively, which has been accepted by the Revenue as reasonable. In this regard, he referred to the assessment order placed at pages 57 to 59 of the paper book for AY 2006-07.

..... sing Officer himself considered the GP rate of 2.65% in AY 2006-07 to be reasonable. In AY 2005-06, in assessee s own case, the GP rate of 2.37% was accepted by the Revenue. In view of the totality of above facts, we do not find any justification for applicability of GP rate of 4.90%.

In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed while the appeal of the Rev .....
