CIT(A) has considered the plea of appellant as gospel truth without appreciating the facts of the case neither going through the documents such as the sales invoices, confirmations from the parties concerned or by conducting any enquiries with such parties.

Before us also in the course of hearing, it was considered necessary to go through certain additional evidence to establish the genuineness of the transactions, accordingly Ld AR has submitted evidence and also requested to submit further additional evidence. Since all such additional evidence were not there before the authorities below, we cannot expect proper appreciation of facts by them under their respective proceedings. 12. Under such facts and circumstances wherein burden cast upon the assessee to place its explanations duly supported with corroborative evidence are found to be inadequate at both the assessment as well as appellate stage, however, in view of additional evidence, we found substance in the contentions raised by the .....
