We find from the above facts in entirety that the Assessing Officer cannot blow hot and cold at the same time for the reason he has made twin additions out of the trading results i.e., treating the cash sales as cash credit and adding the same u/s 68. AO is very well within the power of rejecting the book results u/s 145(3) and we confirm the action of the Assessing Officer.
