But as pointed out by the authorities below it should have been very easy for the appellant to show that these were second sales. All the same the appellant had merely asserted that these are sales without showing any correlation between the goods locally purchased and those sold. In fact, it appears that even purchase and sale bills were not made available. Even before us no evidence is produced. Under the circumstances the appeals on this point have to fail. 5.

In this view, the power of enhancement for the Tribunal is even more limited than that of the AAC. It is because the entire assessment is before the AAC while only the appellate order is before this Tribunal. Where the tax payer claimed relied which he had not urged before assessing authority or in first appeal, the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to entertain the same as held by the Madras High Court is R.M.
