Shah Co., Pali and, therefore, he drew the inference that the respondent-assessee has sold the goods to M/s. K.K. Shah Co., Pali and thereafter M/s. K.K. Shah Co., Pali had despatched the goods to various places either to itself or to other parties. So far as transaction between respondent-assessee and M/s. K.K.
