On the basis of such findings and observations, the Assessing Officer rejected the assessee's book results u/s 145(3) of the Income-tax Act and then he observed that the outstanding labour payments as also the expenses mentioned earlier, were substantially bogus and since it was not possible to ascertain the quantum of the other expenses, he proceeded to apply the provisions of Section 44AD to the total receipts of the assessee and worked out the net profit at ₹ 26,88,774/-.

Such a sweeping observation was not warranted without the support of concrete findings in this regard. If the books of account of the assessee has been kept as per normal accounting standards, then Assessing Officer should not be disturbed the same without raising any specific defect therein. In these facts and circumstances, the CIT(A) was fully justified in observing that the Assessing Officer was not justified in rejecting the assessee s books result u/s 145(3) of the Act.
