The ITAT observed that the assessee failed to substantiate the genuineness of the alleged bogus purchases, and therefore, the adoption of gross profit at 8% was held to be justified. Consequently, the assessee's appeal was dismissed. Subsequently, the case was reopened by issuing a notice under Section 148, and the Ld.

We find no reason to deviate from the ruling of the Coordinate Bench, and accordingly, we restrict the addition to 8% GP on the alleged bogus purchases. It is noted that in the original assessment order under Section 143(3), an addition of Rs. 8,96,442/- (8% GP) was made on the alleged bogus purchase of Rs. 1,12,05,525/-, which was already confirmed.

Accordingly, the addition is confirmed to the extent of Rs. 5 ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
