Thus, the provision clearly prescribes about the procurement of the goods from the Members of the society and not from the non- Members. As submitted by the D.R. the statement recorded from Shri Karsanbhai S. Bharwad who is the Mantri of the assessee cooperative society and not a third person. Therefore, the case laws relied by the assessee is clearly distinguishable and not applicable to the present facts of the case. The grounds of appeal raised by the assessee are devoid of any merits and against the provisions of Section 80P(2)(b). Therefore, the finding of the lower authorities does not require any interference and appeal filed by the assessee is hereby dismissed.
