As relying on case of Malani Ramjivan Jagannath vs. ACIT (2006 (10) TMI 145 - RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT) decision on fall in GP and non-maintenance of stock register support the assessee’s case. Therefore, we reverse the order of ld. CIT (A). It is not necessary that where books were rejected certain addition is required to be made to the income of the assessee as held in case of Gotton Lime Khaniz Udyog, (2001 (7) TMI 19 - RAJASTHAN High Court). - Decided in favour of assessee. - ITA No. 297/JP/2013 - - - Dated:- 11-8-2015 - SHRI R.P.

Therefore, AO gave reasonable opportunity of being heard to the assessee which was availed by the assessee and submitted written submission, which has been reproduced by the AO at pages 2 to 5 of his order.

Given the exponential increase in turnover the g.p. rate is estimated at 20% resulting in a confirmation of the trading addition of ₹ 2,09,854/- 5. Now the assessee is before us. The ld.
