However, the CIT(A) disagreed with the findings of the AO after analyzing the material on record and also after referring to the ground realities as well as obvious inconsistencies in the order of the AO. Then, the Tribunal found no reason to interfere while proceeding on relevant considerations. The matter essentially related to the facts but the approach of the AO could not have been approved when the same had been either too theoretical or carried obvious inconsistencies like total disallowance of the claim towards labour payment despite there being addition to the factory building during the period in question.

The assessee filed its return for the assessment year 2005-06 declaring income as nil . Thereafter, the return was revised declaring a loss of Rs.3,79,286/-. The AO proceeded to complete the assessment by the questioned order dated 28.12.2007.

The CIT(A) also found that every item of purchase, payment, transportation, receipt etc. was recorded properly in the books of accounts and the AO had nowhere pointed out any defect in such books.

The Tribunal also indicated that it had not been the case of the department that the assessee had shown excessive valuation of the factory building.
