The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s deletion of additions made by the AO regarding alleged bogus charges for installation of electricity poles and purchases. The Tribunal found that the CIT(A) had meticulously examined evidence from each vendor, and the AO failed to demonstrate any perversity in the CIT(A)'s assessment. The ITAT also confirmed deletion of additions related to cash found in a locker, acknowledging it represented company funds reflected in imprest accounts. Additionally, the Tribunal sustained the CIT(A)'s allowance of bad debts written off by the assessee, recognizing that MCD had refused payments due to investigations into Commonwealth Games 2010 contracts, making the debts reasonably uncollectible despite legal remedies not being exhausted.
