Briefly the facts of the case are that the assessee is engaged in the trading of Gems & Jewellery under his proprietor concern M/s Vikas Exports. During the course of assessment proceedings, the Assessing Officer on perusal of the audited balance sheet of the assessee for A.Y. 2013-14 noticed certain sundry creditors and in order to verify the same, the assessee was asked to submit postal addresses of the sundry creditors. The AO issued notices under section 133(6) to various creditors, however, in respect of M/s Madhav Krishna Jewellers and M/s .....

It may be mentioned that if the purchases are accepted by the AO, it does not mean that the sundry creditors stands proved automatically. It has already been mentioned earlier that the result of enquiries made by the AO including the spot verification was confronted by the AO to the appellant but the appellant could not prove the genuineness of these sundry creditors. It is to be noted that from the profit and loss account of the appellant for the year under consideration, that during the year declaration it has made purchases to the tune of Rs. 4 .....

These purchases were made on 04.02.2013 & 02.02.2013, i.e. just before end of the year and therefore, amount were outstanding at the end of the year. (b) Copy of the certificate of registration given by Commercial Tax Department to these two parties. (c) Confirmation given by these parties. The confirmation was filed with the AO on 15.12.2015. (d) Copy of PAN card of the proprietor of these concerns wherein their permanent address is mentioned. (e) Payment to both the parties is made by account payee cheque on 31.10.2013 as mentione .....

CIT(A), the assessee has also furnished the evidence that the goods purchased through these bills has been exported. However, even after providing all these evidences, the Ld. CIT(A) has not at all commented or given any adverse finding in respect of the documents produced by the assessee. Thus, the addition made by the AO and confirmed by Ld. CIT(A) is only on surmises & conjectures and without appreciating the material available on record in a correct perspective. 4.4 In support, the reliance was placed on the decision of the Hon'ble Gujarat High Court in case of PCIT Vs. Tejua Rohitkumar Kapadia (in Tax Appeal No. 691 of 2017 order dt. 18.09.2017 .....

However, we find that there is no finding which has been recorded by the lower authorities examining these documents so submitted by the assessee in support of his purchase transactions. Further, we note that there seems to be some confusion on the correct address of these two concerns and their proprietors and as a result, the notices issued by the AO u/s 133(6) were not complied with and even the Inspector could not locate their business premises. In the entirety of facts and circumstances of the case, we deem it appropriate that the matter is remanded back to the file of the AO to examine the same afresh, afte .....
