As mentioned in the chart, the purchase/sale of Charcoal, DOC, Fire-wood, GNS Powder, White-coal etc, are comparatively of small sales item and gross profit is also small or G.P. is higher or lower makes no difference in over all quantum of gross profit. Therefore, the same are not considered worth for detailed discussion. Thereafter, there remains only two major items viz. Lignite and Steam Coal. The Item of Lignite is being mainly purchased from GMDC, a Govt. of Gujarat concern. So far another major item of steam-coal, the assessee purchases these from open market in bulk from importer and sales it to his customers in truck load.

There is steep fall in the gross profit ratio in the trading of steam cock as the profit has fell down from 17.47% in preceding year to 10.83% in current year. After considering contentions of the assessee, totality of facts and directions issued u/s.144A of the IT Act, the gross profit at the rate of 12% is estimated which is considered both fair and reasonable and accordingly this would be considered for addition for possible leakage of gross profit on sale of steam cock. As such, the addition on account of low gross profit is worked out as under: 12% GP on sales of steam cock Rs. 93389929 Rs.1,12,06, .....

Accordingly, an addition of Rs. 6,95,799/- is made to the total income of the assessee on this count." 2.3. Matter was carried before the First Appellate Authority wherein various contentions were raised on behalf of the assessee and having considered the same, the CIT(A) deleted the addition of Rs. 10,45,770/- made on account of estimation of Gross Profit and the disallowance of Rs. 6,95,799/- made on account of transportation charges i.e. Noor & Jakat. The same has been opposed on behalf of the Revenue inter alia submitted that the CIT(A) erred in deleting the addition of the addition of Rs. 10,45,770/- made on account of estimation of Gross Profit and also against the de .....

We, therefore, allow all these three grounds of the assessee." After considering all the facts and evidences produced during appellant proceeding, we have considered view that the rejection of books of account u/s.145(2) was not justified on the basis of defects pointed out by the A.O. Further, GP addition also is not required due to su .....

Even if this has been rectified then also we feel that such ad-hoc disallowance without pointing out as to what was the details called for which were not submitted, is not justified. We, therefore, delete this disallowance. This ground is allowed." 4. Nothing contrary was brought to our knowledge on behalf of Revenue. Facts being similar, following the same reasoning as mentioned in the aforesaid case for AYs 2005-06 to 2007-08 as discussed above, we are not inclined to inte .....
