..... ail in profit and held that line of business is same and no reason has been given for alleged fail in profit. CIT (Appeals) further held that some sites in assessment year 1987-88 and 1988-89 were common.

Thus it is clear that after the search the G.P. rate was taken at 10%. The business of the assessee continued to be the same. Therefore, in our opinion in the facts and circumstances of the case, it would be proper to start with the G.P. rate of 10% and consider the deductions claimed there form by the assessee rather than taking the N.P. rate at 2.5%.

Tribunal has not found the finding of CIT (Appeals)acceptable and reversing the same, it has accepted profitability as assessed by assessing officer. It is no doubt true that appellate authority cannot pass order of dismissal/rejection without reversing/upsetting findings recorded by Court/ authority below which has not been done by CIT (Appeals) in the present case. 9.
