Perusal of record shows that this appeal was filed in the year 2019. Notice of hearing was served through registered AD for more than three occasions. The ld. AR of the assessee attended the hearing on 07/12/2021, 15/02/2021, 21/02/2022 and thereafter sent application for adjournment. The assessee was granted last opportunity on 22/08/2022 to make their submission and the appeal was adjourned to 10.110.2022.

The AO also conducted enquiries by issuing notice under section 133(6) of the Act calling complete details from the parties from whom the assessee made purchases. In response to such notices, those companies/parties submitted only ledger accounts, no details where furnished with regard to payments of such purchases. Thus, the AO concluded that purchases shown by assessee are not verifiable. The assessee was asked to produce the complete details of month wise purchases, sale and quantity, value, bills, vouchers of expenses and stock statement. The assessee was also asked to produce the lorry receipt no. and truck/vehicle through which the goods were delivered. The AO noted that despite being number of o .....

The ld.CIT(A), considering the fact of the case held that in his opinion, 1% of addition of total turnover would be fair and reasonable, to meet the end of justice and restricted the addition to that extent only. 10. We find that the present appeal was filed on 30.11.2016. The case was fixed for hearing for the first time on 22.03.2018. The ld.AR of the assessee is seeking dates from 22.03.2018 on one ground or other. Not a single piece of evidence is filed before this Tribunal. Though in additional grounds of appeal the assessee raised plea that no proper opportunity was given and that the assessee was prevented from pro .....

CIT(A), which we affirm. In the result the ground No. 1 2 of the appeal is dismissed. 9. Considering the decision of Tribunal in assessee s own case on similar facts in preceding year and respectfully following the same, the estimation made by ld. CIT(A) is increased from 0.5% to 1% of total turnover. Thus, the grounds of appeal raised by the Revenue are partly allowed. 10. In the result, this appeal of the revenue is partly allowed. 11. Now we take ITA No. 316/Srt/2019 for A.Y. 2014-15 wherein following grounds have been raised by the revenue. 1. On the facts and circumstances of the case a .....
