At the outset, the ld AR of the assessee has supported the order of the ld CIT(A) and prayed to uphold the order passed by him. 6. We have heard the rival contentions of both the parties and perused the material available on the record. In this case, the original assessment was completed U/s 143(3) of the Act on 13/12/2007. Notice U/s 148 of the Act was issued on 25/3/2011 for A.Y. 2005-06, which is after four years from the end of the assessment year. As the assessee has disclosed all the particulars of income in the return as well as audit report and there is no failure on the part of the assessee in disclosing full and true all material facts necessary for his assessment in the assessment year under consideration, therefore, we uphold the order of the ld. CIT(A) on ground No.1.

By considering the Hon ble ITAT decision in the case of Ved Prakash Pareek Vs. ITO 39 Tax World 176 and Santosh Kumar Rawat Vs.

We have heard the rival contentions of both the parties and perused the material available on the record. The assessee has not challenged the rejection of books of account before the ld CIT(A) and also before us, therefore, it is admitted fact that the assessee s books are not reliable. In past, the assessee in A.Y. 2007-08 has been disclosed NP rate @ 7.17% on turnover of ₹ 5.7 crores. In A.Y. 2008- 09, the assessee has disclosed NP rate @ 6.13% on turnover of ₹ 10.00 crores.
