Whether rejection of Form F is based on finding that is wholly perverse, inasmuch as, besides no defect found in Form F, all material documents such as Form 9R issued under U.P. Krishi Utpadan Mandi Adhiniyam, 1964 (hereinafter referred to as the Mandi Adhiniyam), bilty and challan evidencing physical dispatch of goods, stock register in Form 44 (issued under Mandi Adhiniyam), proforma invoice issued by ex-U.P. principal had not only produced but had been endorsed by the Assessing Officer upon inspection during assessment?" 3.

Thereunder, Form F was made mandatory. The alternative mode that exists for benefit of the assesse, prior to the amendment refused above, cannot now be relied to defeat the effect of amendment made. 15. The A.Y. in question is 2003-04. Eighteen years have passed and no further enquiry appears to be necessary in face of the facts noted above.
