However, in further appeal, the learned CIT(A) taking into consideration the fact that the assessee in its books of accounts had disclosed purchases amounting to Rs.2,48,49,832 from the alleged hawala dealers made an enhancement and disallowed the entire amount of Rs.2,48,49,832 as bogus purchases. It is evident from the record that the coordinate bench of the Tribunal vide order dated 23/08/2019 granted another opportunity to the assessee to furnish quantitative details to show purchases and consumption of material in the construction activity and accordingly restored the issue to the file of the AO for de novo adjudication after the due opportunity of being heard to the assessee. The relevant findings of the coordinate bench, vide aforesaid decision, are reproduced as follows: We have considered the rival submissions and perused the material on record.
