The Tribunal noted that similar issues for earlier assessment years were decided in favor of the assessee by a co-ordinate bench.

The CIT(A)'s application of a minimum third-party purchase rate was also found to be arbitrary.

The Tribunal held that the appeal filed before the CIT(A) was not maintainable as it was against an order disposing of objections to a Section 148 notice, not an order passed by the AO. Consequently, the appeal is also not maintainable before the ITAT.
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal, acknowledging the ex-parte nature of the original order and the Revenue's challenge to the CIT(A)'s jurisdiction. The case was remanded to the jurisdictional CIT(A) for fresh adjudication.

The Tribunal noted that Form No. 5 under the Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020, had been issued to the assessee. Consequently, the appeal was allowed to be withdrawn.
The Tribunal held that the AO cannot exceed the scope of limited scrutiny unless specific procedures are followed. Following a coordinate bench decision, the disallowance made by the AO was directed to be deleted.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal as withdrawn because the assessee had opted for settlement under the Vivaad se Vishwas Act. However, the assessee was granted liberty to apply for recall if the dispute was not settled under the Act.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s deletion of the Service Tax addition, finding it to be a legitimate liability of the assessee. Regarding the food and beverage consumption, the Tribunal agreed with the CIT(A)'s partial disallowance, considering the nature of the business.
The Tribunal noted that the quantum additions, which formed the basis for the penalty, had already been deleted by a previous ITAT order. Therefore, the penalty order could not survive.
