As to the point whether the details in the "Satti Bahi" is otherwise complete, the fact that the books of account of the assessee has been accepted and the further fact that there is no specific finding recorded as to any defect in the books of account of the assessee, that point has to be treated as one decided in favour of the assessee.

Ltd. and GNG Exports. It further appears to have supported its claim of having made purchases on commission basis on behalf of Ex-U.P. Principal by bringing on record the receipts of purchase under the Mandi Adhinium on Forms 6-R and the bills of sale made on Forms 9-R. 4.

It may have been relevant, if the assessee had failed to establish his claim otherwise since, in the facts of the present case, the assessee had led all evidence to satisfy the test laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Commissioner of Sale Tax and others Vs. M/s. Baktawar Lal Kailash Chand Arthi and other, 1992 UPTC 971 , mere issuance of Form-H could not change the nature of transaction performed by the assessee into one of the sale made on its own account. 5.
