..... not filed evidence because the loan creditors are uneducated people. It appears to me that the explanation given by the assessee cannot be accepted for the reason that if at all assessee borrowed some loans, he has to submit all the details before the Assessing Officer and if Assessing Officer is not satisfied on any details, assessee has to make an appeal for admitting those details. In this case, the assessee has not made any attempt neither before the Assessing Officer nor before the ld.CIT(A). Before me, he simply submits that he has not submitted all the details of loan creditors because loan creditors are illiterates. This is not a ground to admit the additional evidence, therefore, prayer made by the assessee for admission of additio .....

..... State Government cannot sell the products over and above the MRP fixed by the State Government. We find force in the arguments of the assessee for the reason that the A.O. has estimated the net profit by relying upon the decision of A.P. High Court in the case of CIT Vs. R. Narayana Rao in ITA No.3 of 2003 which is rendered under different facts. The A.P. High Court has considered the case of an arrack dealer, whereas, the assessee is into the business of dealing in IMFL. Therefore, we are of the view that the A.O. was not justified in relying upon the judgement, which was rendered under different facts to estimate the net profit. On the other hand, the Ld.

Considering the facts and circumstances of this case and also respectfully following the ratios of coordinate bench, we are of the view that the net profit estimated by the A.O. by relying upon the decision of Hon ble A.P. High Court (supra), which was rendered under different facts is quite high. On the other hand, the assessee relied upon the decision of coordinate bench and the coordinate bench under similar circumstances estimated the net profit of 5% on total purchases net of all deductions. No contrary decision is placed on record by the revenue to take any other view of the matter than the view so taken by the coordinate bench. Therefore, we direct the A.O. to estimate the net .....
