Jagdish Chand, 90 TTJ 943 (Chd). 4. Aggrieved by this, the Department has come up in appeal, raising the following grounds of appeal : "1. In the facts and circumstances of the case, Ld. CIT(A) has erred in not sustaining the action of the AO regarding rejection of books of account u/s 145(3) and thereby deleting the additions of ₹ 12,35,287/- in gold ornaments account, ₹ 22,12,8367- in diamond jewellery account for low G.P. for undervaluation of closing stock of gold and diam .....
