In our opinion the assessee has discharged the onus cast upon it and now the burden shifts to the revenue to disprove the contentions of the assessee by carrying out further inquiries which was not done in the present case. Moreover, the assessee was not confronted with the statements recorded by the VAT department of GOM from the hawala dealers which itself is in violation of principle of natural justice. AO has wrongly made addition on account of bogus purchase from the hawala parties. We are therefore not in agreement with the conclusion drawn by the FAA that the suppressed GP/NP being more than the hawala purchases for sustaining the additions.

The act of the FAA in upholding the order of the AO was nothing but based on conjecture, surmises and presumptions which was not permissible in law. The ld.

Ostensibly, the Assessing Officer ought to have brought on record material which is relevant to the transactions of the assessee with the aforesaid four parties instead of making a general observation about the information received from the Sales Tax Department of the Government of Maharashtra. Quite clearly, the Assessing Officer as well as CIT(Appeals) have taken note of the fact that no sales could have been effected by the assessee without purchases. In the present case, assessee has explained that all its sales are by way of exports. The books of account maintained by the assessee show payment for effecting such purchases by account payee cheques and also the vouchers for sale and purchas .....
