..... by the CIT(A) whose order was made on 07.11.2012. We also notice that the appeal before the CIT(A) itself was instituted on 21.01.2010. In these circumstances, the CIT(A) was certainly within its right, before rendering its findings, to have additionally called for the returns for the subsequent years (when these entries were in fact reflected by the assessee in its returns) as well as the returns of the associate concerns.

..... Learned counsel submitted that the explanation with regard to inadvertence - or omission, in not reflecting these transactions in assessee s books was convincing, given that for AY 2009-10, all these transactions were reflected in its returns. Learned counsel relied upon this ground of appeal which appears to have been urged before the CIT(A) and even recorded in his order in para 5.1. This Court has considered the rival submissions. The CIT(A) appears to have taken into account the remand report. The assessee, in turn, appears to have relied upon letters written by the associate companies, each one of which had mentioned that the sums were paid directly to the asseseee s vendor during the concerned period in the assessment year in ques .....
