Rival contentions have been heard and record perused.
Briefly stated the facts of the case are that in these cases the returns of income, declaring total income of Rs 2,94,2007- (A.Y. 2010-11)
1603/Mum/2018 M.S. R.S.Castor Trading Pvt. Ltd., & Rs. 64,920/- (A. Y. 11-12), were filed on 2.10.2010 & 19.9.2011, respectively. The assessee is a Pvt. Ltd. Company, engaged in the business of trading in Castor Oil & its products. The assessment orders u/s 143(3) r.w.s 147 of the Act, for both these years i.e. A.Y. 2010-11 & 2011-12, were finalized on 31.03.2016, at total income of Rs. 78,44,820/- & Rs. 38,97,850/-, after making the additions of Rs. 75,50,187- & Rs. 38,32,926/-, respectively, on account of bogus purchases. Aggrieved with the orders of the AO, the assessee preferred appeals before CIT(A).
By the impugned order, CIT(A) confirmed the action of the AO after following the decision of Gujarat High Court in the case of Simit P Sheth.
It was argued by learned AR that assessee is dealing in trading of Caster Oil. The GP rate shown during the assessment year 2008-09 was 1.84% whereas in 2011-12, 2.77%. It was further contended by learned AR that neither AO nor the CIT(A) has provided copy of statement recorded of the concerned persons nor given opportunity of cross examination. Our attention was also invited to the quantitative statement filed with respect to the goods purchased and sold, wherein no fault was found by AO nor by CIT(A). He further contended that the facts in the case of Simit P Sheth were quite distinguishable from the facts of the assessee’s case.
On the other hand, learned DR relied on the order of the lower authorities.
