..... rtificates in the name of M/s. Adinath Sons, Sangariya. There is nothing on the record to show that these applications were in fact moved by Sagar Singh. The assessment order, annexure 6, shows that Sagar Singh was never found at the premises where the business was carried on under the name and style of M/s. Adinath Sons, despite repeated efforts notice could not be served upon him and he never appeared before the assessing authority. The petitioner admits in his application that he was working in the premises where the business was being carried on under the name and style of M/s. Adinath Sons, during the survey of the said business, he disclosed to the authorities conducting the survey that he had left the service, he did not know t .....

Adinath Sons continued is beyond comprehension. His case that he was simply a manager of the firm could have been proved by producing the copies of the entries regarding the payment of his salary made in the account books of the firm.

Adinath Sons, Sangariya as an unr .....
