The AO added an amount of Rs. 1,31,387 to the declared income on the basis of percentage of expenditure relating to asst. yr. 1990-91 and the AO also made other additions against which assessee went in appeal before the CIT(A) who did not oblige the assessee. Hence, this appeal has been filed before us and the assessee has raised various grounds of appeal, which we will deal one by one. 3. At the time of hearing Shri S.
