..... s failed to produce the GRN/Lorry receipt etc. to prove the actual purchases of goods. The case of the assessee is covered by the judgement of the Hon'ble Punjab Haryana High Court in the case of J.R. Solvent Industries (P.) Ltd. (2012) 22 taxmann.com.115 in which it has been held that where the appellant failed to produce the selling dealer alongwith his books of account, the assessee cannot claim the purchase of goods. The assertion of the A/R of the appellant that we have been given to understand that the seller had paid appropriate VAT on the goods sold is only a presumption for which no evidence has been produced by the appellant. The AR of the appellant has gone to the extent of making his statement that the seller is a registered company and the address is available in the public domain and has failed to discharge the onus by bringing on record the correct address of the seller. In the present case it was obligatory for the assessee to produce the seller alongwith the necessary documents to establish the genuineness of the purchasers. Moreover, the payment by cheque is not sufficient to establish the genuineness of the purchasers as held by the Hon'ble Supreme Cour .....
