The addition is, therefore, deleted. 7. We have heard the rival submissions and have also perused the materials available on record. We are in agreement with the above observations of the ld.

CIT(A) reduced the addition to ₹ 1 lakh observing as under:- 5.1 There are 2 aspects to this issue: one is non-maintenance of any log book/stock register which could give a fair idea about the day to day consumption of the diesel used for running the DG sets.
