Clay Excavation and Carriage Expenses- Rs. 6,98,382/- c. Expenditure on water course - Rs. 2,25,746/- Total RS.37,83,185/- The assessee assailed the finding of the Assessing Officer in the first appeal. The ld. CIT(A) held that the Assessing Officer ought to have applied the provisions of see. 145 and then computed income. He took note of the trading results of the assessee at page 31 of the impugned order and came to hold that the G.P. rate was required to be enhanced by 1% instead of the specific additions as aforenoted, made by the Assessing Officer. He, therefore, made addition of Rs. 2,95,0001 .....
