..... f the Ld. PCIT s order is that cent percent general expenses claimed by the assessee be disallowed as against 20% thereof as per the decision of the Ld. AO for the reason that complete details were not filed and that veracity thereof could not be verified. By no stretch of imagination, the decision of the Ld. AO to disallow 20% out of the claim of the assessee can be termed as erroneous . This is because the Ld. AO has exercised the quasi-judicial power vested in him in accordance with law and arrived at a conclusion. Such a conclusion cannot be termed to be erroneous because the Ld. PCIT does not feel satisfied with the conclusion as held by the Hon ble Bombay High Court in CIT vs. Gabriel India Ltd. [ 1993 (4) TMI 55 - BOMBAY HIGH COU .....

As regards addition of Rs. 25,21,073/- being the difference between the sales and purchase as per information received from HPCL and as per ledger account of the assessee, it was explained that difference was mainly on account of VAT charged by HPCL in their bills whereas VAT was booked by the assessee under separate head as per accounting policy regularly followed by the assessee. It was submitted before the Ld. PCIT that both the issues were raised during assessment proceedings and the necessary clarifications / documentary evidences were submitted before the Ld.

If that be so, it is rather naive to assume that it is a case in which assessment order is passed without making enquiries or verification which should have been made. The import of the Ld. PCIT s order is that cent percent general expenses of Rs. 11,06,406/- claimed by the assessee be disallowed as against 20% thereof i.e. Rs. 2,21,281/- as per the decision of the Ld. AO for the reason that complete details were not filed and that veracity thereof could not be verified. By no stretch of imagination, the decision of the Ld. AO to disallow 20% out of the claim of the asses .....
