..... les and closing stock, it becomes clear that some goods were in fact purchased by the assessee which were subsequently sold, as but for the inclusion of such quantity purchased the sale of the quantity declared is not possible. At the same time the AO also brought the inquiry to the logical conclusion that the purchases from these three parties were bogus.

On the conclusion of the hearing in this case, a proposal to this effect was made from the bench. Both the sides finally agreed to it. We hold that the net profit rate of 5% be applied. On the application of such net profit rate, the effective additio .....

It is axiomatic that the source of deposit in the bank is always out of cash balance available at the beginning of the day as adjusted with the receipts and payments for the day. There cannot be any question of making addition u/s.68 in respect of entries of deposit in the ba .....
