..... ransactions referred to therein, did not relate to the assessee. It must be noted that inspections revealed stock variation of 466.995 kgs. Going by the slips and the stock difference noted, it is very difficult for us to accept the case of the assessee that the order of the Tribunal is unsustainable. In the circumstances, we have no hesitation in confirming the order of the Tribunal. Accordingly, the appeal stands dismissed. - Tax Case (Revision) No. 864 of 2006 - - - Dated:- 23-3-2011 - JANARTHANARAJA P.P.S., JJ.

However in the objection to the show-cause notice, the assessee stated that the transactions noted in the slips did not relate to any purchase or sale of goods, but related to some other transactions other than purchase and sales.

In these circumstances, the Tribunal set aside the order of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner directing the assessing authority to assess the turnover deleted by the Appellate Assistant Commissioner. Aggrieved by the same, the assessee has filed the above revision. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner/assessee pointed out that when the appellate authority had given a detailed reasoning for cancelling the addition, the Tribunal ought not to have cancelled the order of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner to restore the assessment or .....

The Appellate Assistant Commissioner accepted the explanation of the assessee in the appeal. Thus an appeal under the tax laws is treated as continuation of the assessment proceedings, no exception could be taken to the appellate authority going through the materials produced before it, particula .....

With reference to slip No. 7, there are entries as regards goods dealt with therein as well as entry on payment of cheque books. The Tribunal pointed out that these entries including one relating to the goods, did not disclose any purchase or sale. A perusal of the order of the appellate authority shows that no material was there to substantiate the contentions that the entries with reference to the transactions referred to therein, did not relate to the assessee. It must be noted that inspections revealed stock variation of 466.995 kgs. Going by the slips and the stock difference noted, it is very difficult for us to accept the case of the assessee .....
