Even the assessee has not appeared before the AO to prove the genuineness of the alleged purchases. Consequently, the AO proceeded to hold that the assessee s bogus purchases made from Vahal Trading Pvt. Ltd. are non genuine in order to inflate its purchases of Rs.7,26,999/- and thereby made addition of entire amount of bogus purchases of Rs.7,26,999/- and thereby framed the assessment at the total income of Rs.9,34,410/- under section 144 read with section 147 of the Act. 4.

Therefore only 25% of the bogus purchases, i.e. Rs. 1,81,750/-, out of total purchases of Rs, 7,26,999/- may be added to the income of the appellant.

We have perused the findings returned by the Ld. CIT(A) which is based upon the facts of the case and law applicable thereto settled in case of Vijay Proteins Ltd.
