..... for fresh adjudication. Accordingly, this issue of assessee s appeal is allowed for statistical purposes Addition by invoking the provisions of section 41(1) as against addition made u/s 68 by AO on sundry creditors - HELD THAT:- As assessee requested that the matter can go back to the file of the AO to decide the issue whether the additions are to be made u/s.68 or u/s.41(1) after considering the facts of the case, whether the sundry creditors are arising out of sales or not - we are of the view that in the above given facts and arguments, let the matter go back to the file of the AO for fresh adjudication as argued by both the sides.
