Ground No.1 in the Department s appeal challenges the deletion of addition of ₹ 6,48,000/- out of disallowance of ₹ 7,20,000/- on account of purchases from Nirav Traders ( NT for short). The assessee in the CO challenged confirmation of addition of 10% of the purchase from the same party. It is stated earlier that the addition was made on the same count, but the appeal was preferred before the Tribunal and the Tribunal vide order dated 9-1- 2009 set aside the order passed by the learned CIT(A) with direction to consider all the submissions of the assessee and pass speaking order after giving opportunity of being heard to the assessee and the AO.

The learned CIT(A) accepted the contentions of the assessee and noted that the purchase rate of cement from the above party is reasonable, as compared to the rates of other parties. Further, there were no dispute regarding genuineness of the consumption of the cement and that entire payment was made through account payee cheques.

ITA No.1839/Ahd/2009 8. In this Department s appeal, the Revenue challenged the deletion of penalty under Section 271(1)(c) of the Act on the additions discussed above. The learned CIT(A) following his appellate order in quantum cancelled the penalty. On consideration of the above facts, we do not find any merit in the department s appeal. On the issue of purchase made from NT , we have confirmed the order of the CIT(A) in deleting the substantial addition.

Therefore, merely because 10% addition is sustained on account of unexplained purchase, we do not find it to be a fit ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
