The tribunal accepted the assessee's request for withdrawal of the appeal. The appeal was dismissed as withdrawn.

The Tribunal admitted the additional ground of appeal, which argued that the reassessment proceedings were void ab initio as the notice under Section 148 was issued to a company that had already been struck off from the ROC records and was non-existent. The Tribunal found this to be a legal issue going to the root of the matter.
The Tribunal upheld the rejection of the assessee's books of accounts due to unverified transactions and the estimation of gross profit at 2% of gross sales. The assessee's inability to provide comparative data for wholesalers was noted.

The Tribunal held that the addition made on account of alleged interest on delayed receivables was unwarranted, considering the business model and the impact of receivables on working capital. The Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer/TPO to delete this addition.
The Tribunal noted that the assessee was no longer aggrieved by the Pr. CIT's order as the subsequent assessment order was favorable. The assessee requested the appeal be dismissed as withdrawn, and the revenue did not object.
The Tribunal restored the matter to the Assessing Officer to verify if the written-off advances were indeed accounted for in computing the assessee's income in the relevant or earlier assessment years. If verified, no disallowance would be made.
