The main issue raised in the present appeal is that the Assessing Officer had made a mistake in construing the weight of the purchases as noted in the seized document to be alleged sales in value by taking figure of ₹ 3,50,93,668/-.

Acting on the basis of the said mistakes, the Assessing Officer estimated the sales of the appellant for this year at ₹ 3,50,93,668 as against the sales of ₹ 95,75,449 which had been shown by the ap .....

Before us, ld. counsel for the assessee, Mr. Rajiv Saxena submitted that the entire basis of taking the alleged unrecorded sales is erroneous for the reason that; firstly, the Assessing Officer has taken quantity/weight of the jewellery as value; secondly, the assessee himself has given the working and the calculation of net profit including sale and purchase were worked out from the seized material itself.

After considering the rival submissions and on perusal of the relevant findings and material referred to before us, at the time of hearing, we find that the only controversy is with regard to the estimation of sales of ₹ 3,50,93,668/- on the basis of certain seized documents which according to assessee is ₹ 95,75,449/- which has been declared by the assessee himself.
